As Brigderton's third season hits Netflix, FEMAIL takes a look at all the regal real-life palaces included in the series 

The home of the Bridgerton brood plays a starring role in the famed Netflix season, with the returning setting establishing itself as a firm fan favourite.

According to Bridgerton's locations leader Tony Hood, fans often turn up in full-costume to the location, sometimes asking for selfies.

The gorgeous Palladian style Georgian mansion is in fact Rangers House which is located in Greenwich Park, London. 

The house believed to have been constructed between 1722 to 1723, was originally designed for Vice-Admiral Francis Hosier.

The red-brick estate is thought to have been mapped out by architect John James, on wasteland near Greenwich park. 

However it isn't only one building that brings the Bridgerton's regal home to life.

The Luton Hoo Estate near Harpenden in Hertfordshire illustrates the exterior of the central family's huge estate. 

RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire also features as some of the interior of the Bridgerton's luxurious home.

However RAF Halton doesn't only serve as home to the renowned Bridgerton's, it also features as the Featherington's house - who live directly opposite, according to Radio Times.

The former military aviation base is packed full or history, previously purchased by the British Government for the Royal Air Force at the end of the World War I.

However it isn't only Blenheim that depicts the regal Queen's Buckingham home (pictured: Blenheim palace)

Wilton House (pictured) serves as part of Buckingham house as well as the exterior and interior of St James's Palace 

Two palaces in particular were heavily used not only in Bridgerton but also in Queen Charlotte.

In both series Queen Charlotte divides her time between Buckingham Palace - previously known as Buckingham House - and St James's Palace.

And to bring the regal Buckingham to life - which serves as the venue of some of the Queen's most opulent - yet fictional balls - two stunning estates were used.

According to Hood, the fictional Buckingham House is made up of parts of Blenheim Palace and Wilton House. 

The grandiose Blenheim Palace is situated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire and continues to be the seat of the Duke of Malborough.

Build between 1705 and 1722, the epic estate is the only non-royal palace in the entirety of Britain.  

Wilton House, which also serves as the exterior and interior of St James's Palace is an integral part of the fictional Queen Charlotte's world.

Located in Salisbury, Wiltshire, the Grade I listed property is among Bridgerton's locations leader's favourites.

Tony Hood told Welwyn Hatfield Times: 'It's the Queen's world. We love it. Can't go wrong. 

'That's where the Queen does most of her chit-chatting with Lady Danbury. Most of her scheming goes on there.

'The girls are always presented to the Queen at the start of the season there, and that's always a major function of the place at the start of the season, so it's one of our favourites,' he added.

3. Lady Danbury's Estate

In real life the exterior of the property is the Holburne Museum of Art, originally owned by Sir Thomas Holburne (pictured), who was an avid collector

Lady Agatha Danbury is a continuous central character throughout the Bridgerton season, including its Queen Charlotte spin-off.

But where is her regal estate she fought so hard to keep following the death of her fictional husband in real life? 

The exterior of her beloved home is actually the Holburne Museum, located in Bath, Somerset.

Previously known as the Holburne Museum of Art, the Grade I listed building boasts collections from famed artists such as Gainsborough, Guardi, Stubbs and Zoffany.

The key pieces of the art collection were brought together by Sir Thomas William Holburne in the 18th Century.

It is unknown the baron began collecting items, however his sister Mary Anne Barbara Holburne eventually opened his 4,000 object strong collection to the people of Bath.

4. Lady Tilley Arnold's Estate

This grandoise stately house serves as the new home to a growing fictional character in the third instalment of the Bridgerton story.

Headstrong and independent Lady Tilley Arnold is set to be the love interest of the second Bridgerton child - Benedict.

The perfect backdrop for the wealthy widow, Tony Hood the season locations leader explained the character doesn't have the to be among the Ton - and runs her own estate entirely by herself.

But can do you know where this 18th century home, which boasts a staggering 400 acres of land is located?

If you said Basildon Park in Berskshire, you would most certainly be correct.

The luxurious estate was brought back to life by Lord and Lady Iliffe in the 1950s after its decline during World War II.
