Sex Education series three jumped onto our screens just a few days ago, and social media is rife with fans describing how picturesque the landscape of the show is – with many not realising they could be within travelling distance to some of these stunning locations.

Home insurance experts at money.co.uk were keen to uncover the show’s most (and least) hidden filming locations by looking at visit numbers through instagram hashtags. The team at money.co.uk took to Instagram to research which filming locations were hashtagged the least to reveal the locations that were less frequented.

Money.co.uk can reveal that the most hidden filming location is a tie between Sterrett’s Caravan Park, located in Symonds Yat, and Bargain Woods (Monmouthshire) with just five hashtags on Instagram, respectively. The caravan park is home to Sex Education’s Maeve Wiley, while Eric and Otis regularly cycle through the woods to get to school.

Ranking third place is Browns Village Stores, a real store located in the Welsh town of Llandogo with six hashtags.

Many of the above locations are situated on the England/Wales border, giving visitors an interesting mix of the two cultures.

The 10th most hidden location is St Briavels Castle, in the Forest of Dean, with a total of 235 hashtags. In the show’s second season, this is where Jackson and his mum have a heartwarming heart-to-heart.
