Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python and the Holy Grail was mostly shot on location in Scotland , particularly around Doune Castle , Glen Coe , and the privately owned Castle Stalker . The many castles seen throughout the film were mainly either Doune Castle shot from different angles or hanging miniatures . There are several exceptions to this : the very first exterior shot of a castle at the beginning of the film is Kidwelly Castle in South Wales , and the single exterior shot of the Swamp Castle during `` Tale of Sir Lancelot '' is Bodiam Castle in East Sussex ; all subsequent shots of the exterior and interior of those scenes were filmed at Doune Castle . Production designer Julian Doyle recounted that his crew constructed walls in the forest near Doune . Terry Jones later recalled the crew had selected more castles around Scotland for locations , but during the two weeks prior to principal photography , the Scottish Department of the Environment declined permission for use of the castles in its jurisdiction , for fear of damage .
