Tristan + Isolde filming location (2006) Aug 2, 2017 16:03:03 GMT

I just finished watching this film again for the second time since it's release and the location shots are absolutely beautiful.

I'm having trouble figuring out where Lord Marke's keep is located at with the Roman bridge and the fast flowing river underneath.

I've been able to locate (via Imdb) where the Irish king's castle was located near the beach but the "British" location escapes me.

Can anyone help? I've heard that some of the scenes were shot near Prague, Czech Republic but can't verify if this is what I'm looking for.

[First line] I forgot the opening line.

IMDb list the locations , Vegalyra -
www.imdb.com/title/tt0375154/locations
And here is another article on the making of the film -
emanuellevy.com/comment/tristan-isolde-the-making-of-a-romantic-epic-5/

I have the Tristan & Isolde Special Edition Dvd Set ,
but it is not made clear where the castle is .
On the Dvd Set , there are a lot of behind the scenes
footage showing the castle , and it looks real ,
but I can't tell if it is in the Czech Republic ?
It actually looks like a round Irish Keep Castle
by a river .

Thanks for the leads. I read the imdb locations and none seem to fit (they are beach locations which clue us in to the Irish castle and the cave dwelling where Tristan recovers). I believe most of what is discussed are the Irish location shots. I'm guessing it's somewhere in the Czech Republic but can't find a definitive answer.

I hope you find this interesting . This is where the legend started: this stone was originally
found near an ancient site called Castle Dore , which reputedly was also where King Mark lived in the 5th Century AD .
The stone had a Celtic Cross near the top and a Latin inscription on the side , but is badly weathered now -
DRVSTANVS HIC IACIT CVNOWORI FILIVS CVM DOMINA OUSILLA
Drustanus lies here , of Cunowori , with the Lady Ousilla .
The three names above are high Latin , Cunowori meaning King ,
but in the spoken language of the time would be closer to how
we know their names now .
