Film & Broadcast Locations

Film & TV

From Period Drama to Modern Production

Heritage properties, quirky features, and 100 acres of accessible woodland with two dedicated film sets. Merthyr Mawr has been a regular location for film and TV productions, with over 30 productions hosted in the past five years.

The estate's connection to film stretches back decades. Lawrence of Arabia's desert scenes were famously filmed on the sand dunes here — a landscape so versatile it has doubled for deserts, forests, and everything in between.
