Penelope Featherington in Bath — Season 3 filming locations

Season 3 locations in Bath

1. 1

   Great Pulteney Street

   BA2 4AD

   Featherington family exterior; Penelope's home address

   

   Great Pulteney Street doubles as the Featherington family's street address across Seasons 1 to 3. The uniform Georgian terraces run without break for 1,100 feet — providing the production team with a continuous exterior backdrop for Penelope's comings and goings throughout Season 3. The Featherington house exterior appears at the western end of the street, near the Laura Place fountain. The street is freely accessible and quiet on weekday mornings before 10:00.

2. 2

   Bath Assembly Rooms

   BA1 2QH

   Society balls; Penelope and Colin's public moments

   

   The Assembly Rooms are the social arena where Penelope Featherington's double life as Lady Whistledown becomes most precarious. Season 3's ball sequences — where Penelope and Colin's relationship becomes public, and where the threat of exposure closes in — were filmed in the 105-foot ballroom with its original 1771 chandeliers. The production's decision not to augment the room digitally means the space visible on screen matches exactly what you see when you walk in. Main spaces free during museum hours.

3. 3

   Holburne Museum

   BA2 4DB

   Lady Danbury's residence; Season 3 social gatherings

   

   Lady Danbury's residence continues at the Holburne Museum in Season 3. The sequence of events leading to the Lady Whistledown reveal involves several gatherings at Lady Danbury's — filmed at the Holburne's Palladian exterior and gardens. The reveal itself is one of the most searched moments in the show's history; the Bath location where it builds is the Holburne. Free access to the exterior and gardens; admission for the museum interior.

4. 4

   Pulteney Bridge

   BA2 4AT

   Establishing shots; transitions across the city

   

   Pulteney Bridge appears in Season 3 establishing shots as the show transitions between scenes set in different parts of the city. The bridge's unique structure — shops on both sides, crossing the River Avon above a semicircular weir — is instantly recognisable from the show's marketing imagery. The best view is from Grand Parade on the south bank, looking north at the bridge and the weir below.
