Suffolk/Norfolk Treebods

[sean]

Ive been watching Series 1 and 2 of The Detectorists (which is brilliant by the way) and what I have been noticing is how many amazing Ancient and Veteran trees there are in the location where the series is filmed. Having looked into it , it seems the 2 series were primarily filmed in Framlingham and Aldham in Suffolk. The round tower church in Aldham often appears as a back drop but it doesn't seem quite right on Google images. I have put in postcodes for both places on Ancient Tree Hunt but hardly any records on there. So, local tree bods, do you know anywhere near to both of these places with a number of fine trees. Theres a number of Ancient vet Oaks, Ash, some willows and others that appear in background shots that are unidentifiable. If we can find them they can be recorded and admired hopefully. Cheers chaps.

Hi mate. No I’m afraid not hence the post. Needs some detective work. I only know that filming was in the Framlingham area. They used the boys school apparently, don’t know what their grounds are like. Maybe Fram Hall as well?

hello mate, yes ok, i know where that is, it's a pretty amazing place actually. it has framlingham castle in the background

Don't really know Fram all that well sorry Sean.  I can tell you there are some pretty impressive trees just down the road at Helmingham estate though.
