This small hamlet in the heart of the Cotswolds gained wider recognition as a filming location for the ITV crime drama Unforgotten, with various scenes from the series shot around the rural settlement across multiple seasons.
If you've watched the show, you'll recognize several of these locations as backdrops to the detectives' investigations.
The hamlet itself is typical of genuine Cotswolds countryside, offering a chance to experience village life away from the busier tourist destinations. You can walk the surrounding lanes and fields, seeking out the spots where memorable scenes were filmed. It's the kind of place where you genuinely get a sense of the landscape that draws people to this region—rolling hills and traditional stone buildings scattered throughout, without any of the polish that television production adds.
Ram Alley itself has no shops, restaurants, or visitor facilities, so you'll want to base yourself in nearby Moreton-in-Marsh or Stow-on-the-Wold, both of which offer accommodation and places to eat. This means Ram Alley works best as part of a broader exploration of the area rather than a standalone destination.
The real draw is combining your interest in Unforgotten with actual countryside exploration. You get to see the real communities and landscapes the production team chose to film in, rather than anything sanitized or recreated for television. It's a peaceful spot that rewards a bit of wandering.
