One of Watford’s parks has featured in a new hit TV comedy-drama series.

Eagle-eyed viewers watching Sky TV's Sweetpea, starring Ella Purnell, may have noticed a familiar park show up on their screens.

Oxhey Park was used for scenes shot along the footpath by the River Colne.

Watford Borough Council has confirmed that the use of the park was agreed through the council-funded Hertfordshire Film Office.

It was produced by See-Saw Films, the production company that was also behind Slow Horses and Heartstopper.

Oxhey Park is one of Watford’s 17 Green Flag Award-accredited parks - the most in Hertfordshire.
