The Witcher star Henry Cavill chats to holidaymakers as hit Netflix show's season three is filmed on Gower beach

Hit Netflix show, The Witcher, has been spotted filming on a popular Gower beach for season three of the hit series. The show stars the likes of Hollywood actor Henry Cavill who was one of those in action at Three Cliffs Bay. WARNING: Potential spoilers ahead .

A cast and crew of approximately 300 descended on the area, working closely with Three Cliffs Bay Holiday Park which provided facilities to support the ongoing filming.

Sections of the beach were reportedly blocked off to public access for the day as what has been described as a "pivotal scene" was sighted by fans of the show from a distance. You can get more Swansea news and other story updates by subscribing to our newsletters here.

Pictures from Three Cliffs Bay show dozens of camera crew and vehicles making use of the breathtaking Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with some members even saying they definitely planned to return in the future.

Three Cliffs Bay Holiday Park, a popular campsite only walking distance from the beach, supported the production team throughout the process. You can read more stories about Gower here.

The crew arrived Sunday, June 26, and filmed on the beach for the duration of the following day before departing to continue filming this morning - June 28.

"Henry Cavill came around the campsite and said hello to a lot of the campers and caravaners, one or two females got rather excited but he was a lovely gentleman and was very friendly" said Mr Beynon.

He added "the whole team have been in the shop to buy local produce and showed great interest in the area, we've had a total of 75 nights booked from them wanting to return later in the season so it's great for us. What was really impressive was how respectful they were of the area, they had a litter picking team and were cautious about everything they were doing" he said.
