Gosh! Well, that double episode certainly got the third season off to an epic start! And from a locations perspective, there was much of interest.

While I was at Speech House Lake recently I spoke to a guy who was fishing with his family. His name is Dave ( he's given me permission to use it ) and he works for the Forestry Commission. We talked about the lake and it's 'uses' and then out of the blue he told me that 'he'd cut a tree down across a path for Merlin'.

I can confirm that they did film outside Castle Coch for a scene in S3.

Also I was told by a lady I met that they filmed at Clement End, she described it as "knights running out of the wood and there was lots of smoke". So we'll have to watch for that.

Hello! Mrs L here... I'm sure we all remember that [livejournal.com profile] gealach_ros  kindly posted an article about Merlin being filmed in the Forest of Dean recently. Mention was made of Clements End - a new location for us location geeks - as well as dear old Puzzlewood. You can see a copy of the article in this post.

Well, I was delighted to be contacted by Emma, one of our lovely lurkers, who had promptly visited Clements End and took photos. Not only that, but she kindly gave me permission to post her report and images to this community and the website. How cool is that! (I just love this community...)

More info, images, a little swearing, and exceedingly minor spoilers can be found behind the cut...  )

Filming for the third season of Merlin began in early March. Hurrah! They are currently based in Cardiff, and will be filming in France again in April. Little bits of info are coming in about filming locations, which I have summarised below. Thanks are as ever due to our research geek [livejournal.com profile] gealach_ros; the links below all point to her journal entries.


  • I'm delighted that Merlin has returned to Puzzlewood for three days of filming! I really love that place, and it makes for a very atmospheric location. Read the article here.
     
  • The above article also mentions nearby Clements End - which is great, cos it gives me another location to visit! Judging from Google Maps, it may provide another forest location.
     
  • There is a new film studio near Cardiff called Dragon Studios, which includes a castle set. Our favourite DOP Dale McCready has visited there on a locations scout, so there's a good chance they'll use it during the third season. Read the post and see images here.
     

That's all for now! If anyone hears anything further, you're very welcome to post about it here. ♥
