Monty Python and the Holy Grail: The Castles of Camelot

King Arthur sets out across Britain in AD 932 to find knights and, in the end, the Holy Grail. When the National Trust withdrew its permission to film at several castles, the Monty Python team had little time to find new locations, so one fortress had to play most of the others. This route follows the quest in film order through six locations: the castle of the opening shot in Wales, Doune Castle in Scotland standing in for the rest, a moated castle in East Sussex for one establishing shot, a mine, a glen and the island tower that ends the film.

King Arthur: From Merlin's Dragons to Avalon

King Arthur belongs to no single place. His story was built up by Geoffrey of Monmouth, Thomas Malory and many others, and this route follows it in the legend's own order: Merlin's dragons, Arthur's conception and coronation, his battles and court, the last fight, the sword in the water and Avalon. Every pin marks a real place that tradition has attached to an episode, not a site proven by history, and each stop says where the link is doubted.
