Location for King Odin's castle...?
We may not know some of these details until the DVDs come out - with audio commentaries that happen to mention locations, if we're lucky! - but in the meantime...
The opening scenes of The Once and Future Queen showed King Odin grieving for his son in the vaulted crypt or undercroft of his castle. Does anyone have an idea of where the scene was filmed? A large empty vaulted space like that - with rather high ceilings - was very striking. My tentative working theory is a castle in Wales - perhaps Caerphilly? Wikipedia says that Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch have undercrofts, though I'm not aware of any filming happening in either - yet. I didn't see anything like this space at Pierrefonds - though naturally you can't get everywhere, so it may be part of what's left of the original medieval castle there.
Anyway, all ideas welcome, and I (or someone else!) can do a proper post once we know for sure. Thank you kindly!
P.S. I used to never be able to remember how to spell 'medieval', but it's just engraved in my mind now. See, it may be a kids show, but Merlin has taught me stuff.
