The Cornish seaside town of Looe provides the backdrop for Shipton Abbott in the BBC's Beyond Paradise. Locals say the show's popularity has led the streets being clogged with fans.

The Cornish seaside town of Looe provides the backdrop for Beyond Paradise. Since season two hit our screens, the streets have been clogged with fans. READ MORE:With its picturesque winding streets, whitewashed stone cottages and relaxed atmosphere, the Cornish seaside town of Looe was an easy choice for producers looking for a base for BBC series Beyond Paradise.

However, there is one aspect of the popular show that locals are not too impressed with - despite mainly being filmed in Cornwall, it's set in a fictional town in south Devon. 'Somebody came in asking if this is the police station, I said yeah thinking they meant in the show but then I realised they really wanted the police.'When they did the filming they had a farmers market set up in the square and it looked brilliant.'

In an interview, producer Tim Key explained: 'We travelled around lots of different places and were on the hunt to find somewhere that felt like a real town over a seaside resort' One resident said: 'We get plenty of positive publicity for it and it probably does bring some money into the town' The show is filmed in numerous locations in Devon and Cornwall but Looe - a bustling fishing port with a thriving tourism industry and many independent businesses - was chosen as the home for the show because it felt like an authentic town.

One angry social media user penned: 'Why do you have to pretend that your new series Beyond Paradise is set in Devon when it is clearly filmed in Cornwall?'
