They did an incredibly job finding unique filming locations across Northumberland.

0:05 https://youtu.be/IYGG55qwQZQ?t=5

The opening scenes are filmed in the maintenance tunnel beneath the dam at Kielder Water https://maps.app.goo.gl/UypK6WEymBMgVwTp9

The island scenes are filmed on Lindisfarne/Holy Island, although it looks like they'd heavily edited the layout and re-arranged it https://maps.app.goo.gl/HwWQGx6Ciqtqusoq6

River scenes are filmed at Plankey Mill / Allen Banks and Stawards Gorge https://maps.app.goo.gl/d5xcQ961bk9yA5p79

Lindisfarne again. Note the castle has been removed from the background.

I'm not sure where the beach scene is. I'm not aware of a forest right on a sandy beach like this in Northumberland so I suspect it might be heavily edited. They were filming at Matthews Linn in Kielder Forest so there's a possibility it is here: https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=55.20521%7E-2.563028&lvl=17.4&style=h

I have no idea where the abandoned house is. They were filming somewhere along the Forest Drive at Kielder so it could be in that area.

The stony beach is just below Hawkhope Car Park by the dam at Kielder Water https://maps.app.goo.gl/YNrGnMepoeeF1fVP8

The following scene with the high concrete walls are filmed inside the spillway beside the dam. https://maps.app.goo.gl/9h2aoLdx9hXfMDdh7

They re-painted this abandoned petrol station at Knowesgate to become the Happy Eater. This is my personal favourite because despite them going for a dystopian, abandoned aesthetic they literally made it look better. https://maps.app.goo.gl/HnfEDbE3nGbxviQ57
