Wow, what a day! I have posted at length about Cold Con 2 here on the Merlin Locations website. I hope you enjoy the report. A kind friend took a photo of me and Rupert, so if it's not too awful I may add that later. :-)

This evening (well, yesterday evening by now!) I went to see the play Lionboy with two of my favourite peeps, asifidletyou and her son. (Thank you for the lovely company, my darlings! ♥) The Lionboy himself, Charlie Ashanti, who can talk the language of cats, is - as I'm sure you all know by now - played by our own Adetomiwa Edun (Sir Elyan ( Read more... )

Was there magic in the air ?

pakafe wrote in merlinlocations Jul 14, 2013 14:37

Why would these two things come together - was there a touch of magic in the air?

1. I carried a screenshot with me from S5 E13 all the time I was on a break in The Forest of Dean just in case I came across somewhere that looked similar. (see below the cut).

2. On the other hand there was one location I needed to search for but what was ( Read more... )

The Blue Pool, Fforest Fawr

merlocmod wrote in merlinlocations Jul 11, 2013 00:19

I have posted to the website about a new-found location, The Blue Pool in Fforest Fawr. While they didn't flm using the pool itself, they made much use of the steep chasm leading up to it - for example, in episodes 402 The Darkest Hour and 404 Aithusa.

theories | The Castle of Fyrien

merlocmod wrote in merlinlocations Jul 09, 2013 00:29

Many of us have been puzzling over the distinctive Castle of Fyrien which featured in episode 307 as Cenred and Morgause's hideout. The Castle is located on an island in the sea, joined to the mainland via a causeway - and also via a secret tunnel that only Arthur knew about.
The Castle is where we first meet Gwen's brother Elyan. Cenred and ( Read more... )
