Where was Broadchurch filmed?
This gripping crime drama takes place in an apparently calm and welcoming seaside town. When an eleven-year-old boy dies in mysterious circumstances the media descend and start digging into local people's secrets. Much of the action is filmed on England's Jurassic Coast in West Dorset, and the spectacular scenery adds to the attraction of the series.
