In the story, The Village is located in an unknown country. In one episode of the series its location is hinted somewhere in Morocco, in another, somewhere in eastern Europe (on the Baltic coast); but the final episode suggests it may be much closer to home, right on the main island of the British isles.

In reality, the series was filmed at the Portmeirion resort town and Penrhyndeudraeth in Wales, and at Borehamwood Studios in England, using clever camera tricks to make the resort look larger than it is.
