Welcome to Moordale: Guide to All the Sex Education Filming Locations

Netflix hit series Sex Education was filmed in England and Wales, in the beautiful Wye Valley.

Featuring cool filming locations, this high school dramedy series is set in the fictional town of Moordale.

The plot revolves around two kids who decide to set up a sex therapy clinic to make some cash. They help and give advice to their fellow students with sexual problems at Moordale Secondary.

Asa Butterfield (who also starred in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and The Space Between Us) plays insecure Otis. Otis lives in a cute house with his extremely open-minded mom Jean Milburn (Gillian Anderson, known for her role as Scully in The X-Files), who happens to be a professional sex therapist.

The main cast is completed with rebel badass Maeve (Emma Mackey) and Otis' best friend Eric, played by Ncuti Gatwa.

Here is our spoiler-free guide to all the filming locations until season three. For the new season four locations where Sex Education is filmed, just follow this link.

Otis and his mum live in a Norwegian-style house in Moordale overlooking a spectacular gorge.

The Chalet is hanging on a slope at the Symonds Yat East area in Goodrich, over the river Wye.

This location is near Ross-on-Wye and the Forest of Dean (Herefordshire, England). You can book this property, available as a 'luxury self-catering accommodation'.

In the second episode of season one, Maeve goes shopping to Browns Village Stores, a Londis convenience shop in Llandogo.

Otis and Eric go to school crossing the Old Railway Bridge at Tintern, part of the scenic Wye Valley Walk following the course of the river.

The footpath -and most of Sex Education's locations- are right in the border of Wales and England. The metallic white bridge from episode five is Brockweir Bridge.

In Sex Education season 2 Adam (Connor Swindells) gets shipped off to a military academy.

This large Victorian country house is Margam Castle in Port Talbot. This 19th Century Tudor Gothic Mansion is open to visitors and features a gorgeous Entrance Hallway and Staircase Hall.

According to Visit Wales, the Moordale swimming pool is located in the Newport International Sports Village.

The production uses a formula that mixes an American-style college, British accents, and a look and a soundtrack set in the Eighties (although everybody has got last-generation mobile phones).
