Bwlch y Groes (Pass of the Cross)
23 May 2010
The next stop on our Real Merlin and Arthur road trip is a mountain pass on minor roads between Llanuwchllyn and Dinas Mawddwy. The road is a bit of a challenge, it’s true, but if you have the use of a good driver like Bradley James, then it’s well worth the effort. I have to say that the views down into the valleys, on both sides of the pass, are even more spectacular than the view from the lookout at the top.

This gallery will be added to over time, but currently contains photos of the Roman amphitheatre at Caerleon, as visited by Colin and Bradley during the BBC Wales tv show The Real Merlin and Arthur.
Dinas Mawddwy
24 May 2010
This field near Dinas Mawddwy has been identified as the possible location of Camlan, where Arthur and Mordred fell in their last battle. The mortally wounded Arthur was then taken from Maes y Camlan to the Church of St Tydecho in Mallwyd.

Bradley and Colin stopped by the village of Llanuwchllyn while filming The Real Merlin and Arthur. Arthur may have spent his childhood in this lovely area, being brought up with his foster brother at nearby Caer Gai.
The Arthurian Collection, Mold
22 May 2010
I’m sure we all remember that Colin and Bradley tried to visit The Arthurian Collection in Mold as part of The Real Merlin and Arthur show for BBC Wales, but didn’t arrive until after it closed. Well, I didn’t do all that much better, as I didn’t make an appointment ahead of time, but I ended up having a good browse for half an hour late in the afternoon.
The Real Merlin and Arthur locations
11 January 2010
So… in October 2009, Bradley and Colin hopped into a Ford Focus, and spent three days driving around Wales visiting Arthurian locations. This resulted in a program called The Real Merlin and Arthur, first broadcast on 28 November 2009. The show was made for BBC Wales, and so concentrated solely on Arthurian locations in Wales.
