There's a new ABC tv series called Galavant and I was watching the trailer and just noticed so many Merlin locations. I always get excited about stuff like that! I was able to spot Caerphilly and Cosmeston Medieval Village and I'm sure I'm missing a lot. Anyway, it looks completely ridiculous. But in a good way.

5 friends, 2 dogs (named Merlin and Arthur *lol*) and I went to Wales from 6th - 13th July to hunt down some Merlin filming locations. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] merlinlocations and its fabulous location hunters we had an amazing time and found everything on our list (which wasn't complete at all, but it was a start ^^). And now, that I've completed all the entries of our first Merlin location trip at my livejournal, I'd like to post the links here. :)

Every pic of mine comes with a screenshot of the series, so hopefully everything will be clear. But if there're any questions, I'm more than happy to answer everything I can. :D

Day 1: River Ely, Castell Coch, The Blue Pool, Three Bears Caves
Day 2 + 4: St. Donat's Bay, Dunraven Bay, Margam Country Park, Glastonbury Tor
Day 3: Clearwell Caves, Puzzlewood, Raglan Castle
Day 5 (part 1): Caerphilly Castle
Day 5 (part 2): Comeston Medieval Village, Candleston Castle
Day 6: Goodrich Castle, The Amazing Hedge Puzzle, Speech House Lake
Day 7: Chepstow Castle, Huntsham Court Farm

I think we really did a lot for just one week, but we certainly missed out a lot as well. So, the next trip to Wales is already in the early planning stages. :D
I hope you'll enjoy those entries. :)

Wandering in Wales – a tour of Merlin and Arthurian sites in Wales – April 11-17, 2011

Since I went on a tour of Merlin filming sites over the course of 6 days, I thought it would be a good idea to tell you about options just in case you also want to visit. I'll try and include costs and mileage, etc. Keep in mind that I'm from the States so I'm always astonished at how close everything is!

As anticipated, there wasn't much to note in terms of locations in ep 303 Goblin's Gold, as the episode centred in the castle, and used the Chateau and the sets in Cardiff. However, Geoffrey's library was seriously extended, so I'm sure he was happy about that!

Similarly, ep 304 Gwaine was also centred in the castle, and again made use of the Chateau and the sets in Cardiff.

There are two things worth noting, however!

So there are these online Schmap tourist guides at www.schmap.com subtitled 'beyond the map', featuring different locations worldwide, one of which is Cardiff. And apparently they use Flickr as a source of local photos.

I was asked for permission to use one of my photos of Cosmeston Medieval Village in the latest edition of the Schmap Cardiff guide... So I happily agreed. :-) You can see the relevant page here.

If you need another little motivation to upload your locations photos to Flickr, this might provide one! And if you'd then like to add them to the Merlin Locations Flickr group as well, that would be wonderful. ♥

P.S. Now I'd better go pack for France! :-D

Well! This is a trickier challenge than I thought it would be... Here's my first attempt at some Locations icons... I will come back and have another try soon... {ponders} I am finding this a very interesting process, but I really did think I would find it easier! :-D

I trust some of you more artistic types will come (or indeed come back!) and show me how it's done... XD

♦ All photos were taken by me.
♦ Feel free to snag, but comments and credits are love! ♥

I recently visited Wales for 2 days and saw 6 filming sites. I wouldn't recommend more than that, although some of them are very close to each other. As someone from the US, driving on the left side was 'fun' but I got used to it. The narrow roads - not so much. But it was well worth the trip.

My posts are image heavy so here are the links. If you don't want links, I'll try and import what I wrote. Just let me know.

Day 1 - Dunraven Bay, Cosmeston Medieval Village and Caerphilly Castle
Day 2 - Speech House Lake, Puzzlewood and Raglan Castle

Thanks so much to everyone who suggested things to see. It helped immensely!

Cosmeston Medieval Village is a reconstructed village of the 14th century.

how it's used in Merlin

The Village doubled for Merlin's home village of Ealdor in the episode The Moment of Truth. Apparently Hunith lives in the Swineherd Cottage!
