Vera’s team doesn’t just stay in the city. Oh no. They drag you to the most gorgeous, dramatic landscapes. Think Northumberland National Park and the North Pennines. These are the places where bodies get found in ditches.
A huge chunk of the action happens in the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Picture vast, empty beaches. Wind howling. Sand blowing. It’s breathtaking.
Ever noticed those creepy, isolated farmhouses? They’re real. Many are in rural spots like Alnmouth or Bamburgh. The crew literally drives a van to a sheep field and calls it a crime scene.
Quirky Fact: The Pub Crawl
Every copper needs a pint. The team’s local, often seen in early seasons, is the Bavaria Place Social Club in Sunderland. Don’t expect a fancy cocktail bar. It’s a proper, no-frills working club.
Another pub star? The Broad Chare in Newcastle. It pops up in episodes. Order a pint of real ale. You’ll feel like Kenny or Joe.
Look close during driving scenes. You’ll spot the Angel of the North in the background. That massive rusty angel is a constant, sneaky cameo. It’s Vera’s silent co-star.
