Where was Merlin (2008–2012) filmed?
2008 British fantasy-adventure television programme
Merlin (2008–2012) was filmed in Pierrefonds, Ross-on-Wye, Castle of Pierrefonds, Goodrich Castle and Penshurst Place, 5 places named in its Wikipedia article, in the United Kingdom, France. Wikidata itself records the shoot only as Wales. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a statement, and every claim on this page says which it is.
Places per Wikipedia's article
The article names 5 places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there
1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this series as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this series’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

Roath Lock United Kingdom
“Other productions produced by Roath Lock, but not necessarily filmed at the studios include: Merlin, Atlantis, Being Human, The Living and the Dead, Sherlock, War & Peace, The Game, The Passing Bells, The Green Hollow, A Poet in New York, and To Walk Invisible.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this series as shot in Wales, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable (a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote), so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
