A TikTok video about the stately home featured in the movie Saltburn has gained over five million views, but has also led to issues with trespassing on the estate. Drayton House in Northamptonshire, a Grade I-listed home near Thrapston, was used as the filming location for the movie set in 2006.
Rhian Williams, the creator of the viral video, expressed her disappointment that fans were trespassing on the estate, despite her efforts to highlight the presence of a public footpath. The estate owner has reportedly brought in private security due to the influx of visitors drawn to the location.
Saltburn, a film exploring themes of sex, power, and class, follows a university student from a wealthy family who invites a friend to his family’s estate for the summer. Drayton House, chosen to portray the Saltburn mansion, has been home to the Sackville family since the 18th century and is typically not open to the public.
While Rhian Williams initially shared the location of Drayton House on TikTok, she has since urged visitors to stay on the designated public footpath and not venture onto private land. Despite the trespassing issue, she believes it is important for people, especially younger generations, to explore the countryside and enjoy the beauty of Northamptonshire showcased in the film Saltburn.
The popularity of the TikTok video highlights the interest in the filming locations of popular movies and the impact of social media in drawing attention to hidden gems like Drayton House in Northamptonshire. As fans continue to flock to the estate, it is essential to respect the boundaries and regulations in place to ensure the preservation of these historic sites.
