BBC Merlin Filming Locations

Mr P and I have visited the perilous lands and survived !!!!!

Day one
Our first visit to the Trefil Quarry was in mist which meant we couldn't see very much. Entering the quarry was awesome. We drove on for about a mile and saw nothing that remotely looked like the Merlin location. On our way back we went up to the working quarry aptly named Gryphonn Quarry. A man there told us that Merlin was indeed filmed where we had just come from. So once again we went back in the mist armed with our screencaps but still couldn't find the exact place. It was back to the Hotel and warmth. I was very worried about us getting locked in the quarry as there is a barrier but I have found out that as long as the Gryphonn Quarry is working the barrier is open. Later on I was told there is an emergency telephone number by the barrier should it be locked with you inside.

Day two
Mr P stayed at the barrier so I was safe. I thoroughly enjoyed driving well a bit of off roading to a track further on than the awesome entrance. Out I got and with the guardians of the perilious lands - sheep, I walked up another track. As I'm a Bradley fan I was trying to find where he climbed up after getting out of the bog. I was looking for a rock with a crack in it yes a rock with a crack in a quarry. To this day I do not know why I left the track and walked up a bank, I just felt I was in the right place, I found the pool and the wood. I took loads of photos but nothing seemed to fit. Never mind back to Mr P.

Coffee time and he looked at the photos I'd taken. They've flipped one Mr P said and sure enough there was my rock with the crack and I could imagine Bradley climbing next to it.

Another visit a week later
This time with Mr P and Mr P Junior. We walked and discussed where the camera would've taken shots then armed with loads more photos returned home.
