http://www.bbc..uk/wales/southeast/sites/doctorwho/locationsguide.shtml Dr Who is based at the studios in Cardiff. Follow this link to see some of the Welsh locations used in the program. http://www.webmesh.co.uk/pwyll.html The Mabinogion, a Welsh saga first written down in the 11th century (when it was already 1000 years old) specifically puts the story of Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed in the Cych valley. You can still imagine these ancient people chasing through the trees on horseback in this remote valley - though we have a tarmac road these days.
Pembrokeshire has featured as a star in several recent block-buster films. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/8097083.stm Scenes for the latest Robin Hood and Harry Potter films were shot at Freshwater in Pembrokeshire in 2009. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8042668.stm The Shell Cottage in Harry Potter was filmed at Freshwater West. http://www.thelocationguide.com/blog/2012/05/kristen-stewart-and-chris-hemsworth-film-wales-for-snow-white-and-the-huntsman/ Snow White and the Huntsman was filmed at Marlows.
