Filming details for Universal Pictures' adaptation of Robin Hood at Freshwater West in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park have now been confirmed.

The filming next month follows hot on the heels of Warner Brothers' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which finished on set at the beach last week.

The 'Shell Cottage' built in the dunes for the final Harry Potter installment - which has attracted huge public interest - will now be taken down. A National Park ranger was on site all week working with Warner Brothers staff to ensure minimal damage to the beach.

Casting for 450 extras for the Robin Hood film has now begun and the film company will also be recruiting locally for marshals and beach cleaners.

Four local organisations have been involved in helping to accommodate both films: the National Trust, Pembrokeshire County Council, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and the Countryside Council for Wales.

The organisations have now jointly released information for the public about the Robin Hood film, partly in response to concerns raised about the road closure, access to the beach, and potential erosion on the dunes.

Filming dates for Robin Hood are from Monday, June 15, until Tuesday, June 30, and a road closure will be in place for the duration. Limited signposted parking may be provided near the road closure points. Residents of nearby Castlemartin will be given passes to get to their homes. The beach itself and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path will remain open.

The film will involve more than 800 people, including 450 extras, 250 crew, marshals and beach cleaners. It will also include boats and 130 horses, which will be stabled temporarily nearby. Part of the film centres on the seaweed hut near the main car park.

A joint statement by the organisations said: "We recognise that the filming will inevitably cause some disruption in the area as well as great public interest.

"We hope people will help us to accommodate the film companies and we hope that filming on this scale will bring numerous benefits to the local economy, both during filming and following through knock-on tourism spend.

"While it is difficult to quantify, it is estimated the spend will be in the region of £1m, including temporary employment, repeat visits by crews and cast, raising the profile of the area and use of local services - from food to vehicle hire and laundry services to security."
