“Vera” is mainly filmed in the north east of England , especially around Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, County Durham and parts of North Yorkshire.

Main filming region

  • The core setting is Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East, which provides the urban backdrops, bridges and police headquarters exteriors seen in the series.
  • Surrounding coastline, countryside and small towns in Northumberland, County Durham and North Yorkshire are regularly used for rural scenes and murder locations.

Key locations fans will recognise

  • Holy Island (Lindisfarne) is used for Vera’s remote cottage and the dramatic causeway shots, often shown when she drives to and from home.
  • Coastal spots such as Amble, Alnmouth, Bamburgh and Seaham, plus towns like Hexham and various villages, frequently appear as stand‑ins for fictional communities in the show.
