The Chislehurst Caves are actually man-made chalk and flint mines (not caves!) dating back over 800 years, with separate sections supposedly dug by the Saxons, Druids and Romans.

In the episode The Mark of Nimueh, the Caves stand in for the area under the castle of Camelot where the water supply is managed. The Caves might ( Read more... )

This is so out of topic but Most Haunted have been there too :) *giggles*.

Hee! Actually, I think that's right on topic. We need a Ghost Warning! And maybe I'll take it off my To Do List... *chuckles*

It does make me wonder if when they went to the location, that some of the cast did a vidual. I so want Bradley and Colin on that show!

I went to Chislehurst Caves on a school trip (a FEW years ago now!) but IDK even though that was before Bradley and Colin were there it still makes me squee a bit!

Hee! OK, I think it's going back on my To Do List now. :-) Thanks for commenting!

I went to Chislehurst caves back in May, A good fun day out if you like the spooky caves thing(there's a sacrifice table there, *shudders*) and be warned the male guides especially like to scare the bejesus out of you.

Some of the original Doctor Who series had episodes filmed there also.

Heh! Thanks for the input! I have to admit that it's not on my Top Ten List of places to go right now, but I suppose I'll have to at some stage. Ah, the perils of being a completist! I probably won't get very spooked, but I'm sure they'd be able to make me jump out of my skin a few times!

Thanks for commenting.

Hi! I'm going to England in late March/early April and there's a good possibility we'll be visiting the caves. If we do, I'll be sure to send photos to you for posting!

Thank you so much! I still haven't managed to get there. :-D So your input will be greatly appreciated.

You may have seen a later post about me setting up a Flickr group for Merlin Locations. If you'd like to load any such photos there, it would be terrific!

Thank you again! ♥
