The BBC drama Sherwood has taken the viewers by storm. As the thriller is headed to release its final episode soon, fans have been wanting to know everything about the drama. And the question about Sherwood Filming Locations remains the top one. Sherwood tells the tale of two murders that no one ever expected in an already fractured community in 2004. It shook everyone to the core. The murder and investigation led to one of the largest manhunts in British history. The scenario at the time was so bad that the village was reminded of miners’ strikes of the early ’80s.
Sherwood stars “The Walking Dead” fame David Morrissey, “Phantom Thread” fame Lesley Manville, “Live By Night” fame Robert Glenister, “Downtown Abbey” fame Kevin Doyle, “Secret & Lies” fame Claire Rushbrooke, “Playing The Field” fame Lorraine Ashbourne, “Reign of Fire” fame Terence Maynard, and “This is England’ 90” fame Perry Fitzpatrick.
