\n Visit Essex, the tourism organisation for the county, has teamed up with the Essex Film Office to create this new movie map.\n<\/p>\n
\n It aims to encourage people to visit the sites they have seen on the big screen.\n<\/p>\n
\n The campaign, named Starring Essex, highlights the areas that have appeared in popular films and TV shows such as Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, The Essex Serpent, and Slow Horses.\n<\/p>\n
\n Locations from historic TV shows such as Porridge, which was shot at Chelmsford prison, also make the cut.\n<\/p>\n

\n According to Visit Essex, screen tourism is on the rise, with seven in ten UK visitors seeking out a film or TV location.\n<\/p>\n
\n The new map allows film fans to explore Essex’s starring spots.\n<\/p>\n
\n Fans of The Essex Serpent can take a special trail, which covers scenic places along the coast, from Mersea Island to Maldon, while those who want to visit Mission: Impossible locations can head to Stansted Airport.\n<\/p>\n
\n The county is said to have become a film favourite due to the establishment of the Essex Film Office by Essex County Council in 2021.\n<\/p>\n
\n Louise McKinlay, deputy leader and councillor responsible for communities, economic growth and prosperity, said: “TV and film is a rapidly growing industry in Essex and brings a lot of economic benefits to the county.\n<\/p>\n
\n “There\u2019s not only an opportunity to drive film tourism but also employment for people onscreen and behind the scenes.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Venues in Essex, from historic houses and urban settings to forests and coasts, have all become popular filming venues and are benefiting from additional revenue.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Mark Durham, chair of Visit Essex, added: “Over recent years Essex has seen a boom in TV and film productions; it has shone a light on our stunning woodlands, coast and unique buildings.\n<\/p>\n
\n “From Killing Eve to Downton Abbey, Essex has made an appearance on so many well-known TV shows and blockbuster films.”\n<\/p>\n
