The escaped criminal cycled past Ovenden Moor Wind Farm to Warley Moor Reservoir, up above Wainstalls, Halifax.

Tommy Lee Royce could be seen taking in the views over the reservoir, home to Halifax Sailing Club, and surrounding moors before being picked up in a van and taken to his hiding place.

Cold Edge Road / Withens Road in Wainstalls has been used for a number of car driving and drone scenes across series three.
