Towards Zero filming locations: Where was the Agatha Christie drama filmed?

But the tense storyline isn't the only thing that's captured the attention of fans, with Lady Tressilian's imposing home, scenic shots of the Devon coast and many other impressive filming locations also becoming a talking point amongst viewers.

"Gull’s Point is the home of Lady Tressilian, a formidable, Edwardian woman," explained director Sam Yates.

"So Gull’s Point is a more conservative and formal place to be. Whereas the Easterhead Bay Hotel [across the bay] is a pleasure hotel, full of music, dancing, debauchery and young people running towards life following the tragedy of the Great War."

Wondering where scenes featuring Gull's Point were shot? Read on for more information about Towards Zero's filming locations.

Where was Towards Zero filmed?

Burgh Island, Devon

Much of the series was filmed in Devon's Burgh Island, off Bigbury-on-Sea in the south of the region, "which is where Agatha Christie grew up and spent a lot of time", said executive producer James Prichard.

"It’s where an awful lot of the inspiration for these stories would have come from – they’re not all set there literally, but it's in her mindscape," he added.

The Forum, Bath

The Forum in Bath also featured in a few interior shots throughout the show.

Neston Park

Neston Park, near Corsham, Wiltshire, doubled for Lady Tressilian's stately home.

Tyntesfield House

Tyntesfield House, a National Trust property near Bristol was also used as a filming location for Lady Tressilian's home in the series.

Greenway

While it wasn't actually used as a filming location in the series, Prichard also believes that Towards Zero "was inspired by her house in Devon, Greenway, because that stretch of river there lends itself to this, it has that feel".

Christie was born in Torquay, remaining in her childhood home, Victorian manor Ashfield, until she married, and returning there when her daughter was born.

She went on to live in a number of residences, one of which was Greenway, a Georgian house, in Galmpton. But Burgh Island was considered her second home.

Christie often holidayed there and it also served as the setting for two of her novels, Evil Under the Sun and And Then There Were None.

Prichard went on to say that Towards Zero is "very much about the geography... in terms of plot, in terms of twist".

"The house is a character in the story, a really big character," he added. "It means things to people, it's a place where people come and meet, it's a place where a lot happens."

Adam Hugill, who plays Nevile's valet Mac, also confirmed that the cast and crew "were not on a studio backlot".

"We were surrounded by the real period, the real setting," he said. "Everything was there for us, it was so immersive and perfect, because we were in the costumes and in the real rooms."

Goldney Hall

Goldney Hall, a University of Bristol building, was used as the filming location for the London apartment of Nevile Strange.

Bristol Cathedral

The outside of Bristol Cathedral stood in as Westminster's Royal Courts of Justice in the series.

Agatha Christie's Towards Zero continues on BBC One at 9pm on Sunday 16th March and is streaming now on BBC iPlayer.
