Looks like I was too quick with my update yesterday. Not only did another local internet site confirm the shooting locations but also provide set pictures - also one with a very nice shot of Sophia Myles as Lucy. Visit the local website of Burnham-On-Sea. Quote:

“A spokesman for Granada TV told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “The rugged, stark background of Brean Down makes an ideal backdrop. It appears a mystical place and is well suited to Dracula.”

Already in June this year Brean was used to film ‘The Golden Age’ starring Cate Blanchett.
