Castle locations/forest scenes
-
Adding another location to the list... I've just seen the end credits of Series 4 episode 11 for the first time, featuring an Eyeshield sequence not used in any quests. I guessed immediately where it was, as Leigh Grey mentioned it as a possible filming location when he was helping me to identify places last year! It's West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village in Suffolk.
I'm also now wondering where the end credits of Series 4 episode 12 were filmed? It looks like some sort of face carved out of stone or wood, with water running down one side. Weird. Any ideas?
While I'm giving this thread a bump, there are still a bunch of other Knightmare locations that haven't been identified (much to my frustration), so please let me know if you recognise them or have any suggestions as to where they might be!
~ Level 3 clue room in Series 6. I don't even know if it's a ruined castle or an abbey or what. You see more during the Eyeshield sequence at 0:43 in this clip.
~ Timber-framed Level 1 clue room in Series 6.
~ Nemanor's ship in Series 6:

Again, this clip includes a related Eyeshield sequence at 4:09.
~ Castle in Series 7 where a troll blocked the path. Likely to be in Spain.
~ Series 7 tavern visited in Barry's quest. Again, probably in Spain.
~ Grimdale in Series 7:

~ The stained glass window from Series 2 and 3:

(The room is of course a painting but I believe this to be a real window, perhaps from the Norfolk area?)
~ The boating lake from Series 5 and 6:

Very hard to identify this, as one lake looks much like another. An Eyeshield sequence (at 4:50 in this clip) shows the wooden jetty and a walk through trees towards a park bench.
~ Coastal flight sequences shown during the end credits of Series 5 episode 3, Series 6 episode 2, and Series 6 episode 3. The first one features a distinctively shaped headland which someone might recognise.
~ Foresty scene in Series 6 with a huge tree branch overhanging the path.

Ahaaaaaa, finally.... the castle in the Lissard promo shot is Peñaranda Castle, which is also where the troll bestrode the path of Alex and Naila, although it looks a little different now!
That's filming location number 39.

I'm also now wondering where the end credits of Series 4 episode 12 were filmed? It looks like some sort of face carved out of stone or wood, with water running down one side. Weird. Any ideas?
Canadanne - Jake and I can solve that mystery for you. The stone face is taken from Leeds Castle. There is a maze and in the middle of the maze is an underground grotto, where you can find that face. Here is a photo I took on our visit to the castle yesterday:

WHOA! That's one cool face

Excellent, thanks very much for that info!

I DON'T believe it. You have no idea how much time I've spent searching through pictures of Spanish churches and things, trying to identify this damn tavern from Barry's quest. I was looking for it again yesterday and getting nowhere as usual. Later that evening I just happen to be watching Dickon's quest for the first time in ages, and what do I spot during the final Eyeshield sequence? You guessed it - the elusive tavern!!! It's the chapel in Orford Castle, not one of the Spanish locations at all! There's been a screencap on KM.com the whole time, which I even used in a Lexicon entry without noticing it was the same room in reverse. If I hadn't been studying the Series 7 scene just hours before watching this episode, I probably still wouldn't have recognised it!
Thank god I can finally stop wondering about this one.

~ Level 1 Causeway tackled by Richard, Sarah, Ben, Jenna, Alex, Christopher and Kelly (eps 502 / 504 / 505 / 507 / 510 / 511 / 513 / 516).
I had pretty much given up trying to identify this as I didn't think I'd ever work it out, but I was watching an episode last night and just happened to notice a familiar pattern on the wall! It's based on the clue room with the wooden staircase, from Bodiam Castle. The causeway exit is not actually a doorway but part of the balcony structure.

Weald & Downland Open Air Museum a.k.a. Wolfenden will be the subject of Most Haunted this Thursday and Friday (14th and 15th March) on Pick TV at 6pm. The episodes (9-10 of Series 14) appear to be on YouTube if you can't wait that long.

I just replied to the above but couldn't post and said I had to log-in, but already was, and lost all my work ?
Tried to say, we've been to Leeds Castle a few times, only a few hours drive away, and been to the grotto and maze, and it really is a great experience. Hope to go back again, but the Leeds Castle estate is only open a few months a year or seasonal. I wasn't aware it had been used in the show.
The woodland and castle scenes were maybe my favourite bits of Knightmare as you had some great and scary characters, such as the pookas would make an appearance. I hope it is back on TV again sometime soon, as it's been such a long time since I saw a whole episode.

I visited three of the Knightmare filming locations recently, and have uploaded some photos if anyone's interested:
Leeds Castle (the Tower of Time)

Brimham Rocks (the Rocks of Bruin)

Fountains Abbey (Witch-Haven)

Very interesting photos - you did really well matching your shots with the screenshots from the show!

Timber-framed Level 1 clue room in Series 6.
Hmm, I think this is likely to be the Winkhurst Tudor Kitchen at the Weald & Downland Museum!

Been on another trip, this time to the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum (Wolfenden, Greenshades etc). My photos can be seen here:

Apologies for the technomagical devices and, er, palm trees in the Wolfenden shots - unfortunately it was being used as a film set on the day I went, so I didn't get to explore the market place very thoroughly or go inside the Gateway Inn building. The Wolfglade shot is a cheat as it's not in the same place any more, and neither is the building where the flower seller was!

Once again, great photo's Annie! How do you get them so spot on to the snapshots of various scenes from Knightmare?! Looks like a nice place to go, it's not far away from where I live so will have to go there sometime. Wolfenden has gone tropical with the palm trees and the sunshine!
