Read on for everything you need to know about the locations used for Young Sherlock.
Where is Young Sherlock set?
The series starts in Oxford, with many scenes set around Oxford University. Sherlock and Moriarty later visit the Holmes family residence in the countryside, Appleton Manor, before their adventures take them to Paris and then Constantinople.
He continued: "It was August, the sun was beating down on us, the weather was gorgeous, it was one of our first days on set, and Hero and I were dressed up as policemen talking to Detective Fitget.
"I was so inspired by the way Natascha [McElhone], Joe [Fiennes], Max [Irons] and Zine [Tseng] worked with us as well. There was something so brilliant about those days shooting in Appleton Manor where we start to understand the early influences of Sherlock and why he is the way he is now."

Filming also took place in the South West of England and in Oxford, with one specific location in Oxford being Merten Street. Outside of the UK, scenes were also shot in the south of Spain, which doubled for both Paris and Constantinople.
He explained: "When I was first contacted by producer Ed Rastelli-Lewis, he asked whether I thought South Wales, the South West of England, together with Oxford could offer enough variety of epic locations for the show while remaining budget-friendly."
"The challenge was the scale of the production," he added, before revealing that the location which needed the most substantial transformation to make it fit within the era was Merten Street in Oxford.

Meanwhile, on shooting abroad, Tom Burton, production designer, said: "Initially, I was researching different countries that we might possibly shoot in - it was always going to be more of a location-based show rather than a studio build. We looked at France, Hungary, Turkey, Morocco and Spain, along with what we were shooting in the UK.
"Oxford was a big character in the initial episodes and we knew there was nothing that could double for Oxford... Our best option for later episodes was the south of Spain that we could double as Constantinople (the Moorish architecture is a good standing for the Ottoman architecture of Istanbul), Turkish landscapes and Paris. You are guided by the scripts and episode outlines, but always on the lookout for great locations that give scale and texture that can be written in."
"We matched a section of The Bodleian Library on the stage with elements that we needed to have for the action and story, as obviously you can’t climb on their bookcases; make holes in their walls or create secret passageways. So getting the joins between location and sets was the main challenge.
