Where was Merlin filmed?

2008 British fantasy-adventure television programme

Merlin (2008–2012) was filmed in Cardiff, Pierrefonds and Castle of Pierrefonds, 3 places named in its Wikipedia article's Production section, in United Kingdom, France. Wikidata itself records the shoot only as Wales. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a statement, and every claim on this page says which it is.

Places per Wikipedia's Production section

Wikipedia’s Production section names 3 places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there

1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this series as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this series’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

Recorded only at country level

Wikidata also records this series as shot in Wales, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable — a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote — so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
