Fictional
- Shipton Abbott: the programme's fictional Devon town.
- Shipton Abbott police station: a fictional service represented on screen by a real civic building.
- Character homes and workplaces: story locations that may use private or working real-world premises.
Real
- Looe, Cornwall: the principal visual foundation for the town, harbour and many connecting street scenes.
- Looe Guildhall: the recognisable exterior used for the fictional police station.
- The harbour, bridge and Banjo Pier: real working and public spaces used within the programme's screen geography.
- Pentillie, Port Eliot and the Tamar Valley: real locations associated with particular settings and the wider production area.
How location claims are labelled
An exact screen building is different from a documented scene area, a recurring filming area or a broader production association. Coastal Clues keeps those levels separate and links to its evidence register.
Visiting without crossing a line
A public television appearance does not turn a private home, closed set, working quay or restricted building into a visitor attraction. Use public viewpoints, follow local notices and never obstruct access for residents or harbour users.
