One local, eager to walk the quarry’s public footpaths while taking photos, claimed they were “aggressively” stopped by a security guard. The quarry is a popular destination for walkers and history hunters and there are some concerns about the restricted access during filming. It’s speculated the Battle of Rook’s Rest is being filmed there - the first major battle in the storyline’s civil war, and included fighting between war dragons.

There is also restricted access at Dinorwig Quarry, Gwynedd, where two days of incendiary filming started this week after almost three weeks of site preparation.
