Pendragon Castle
Our visit to the town of Kirby Stephen allows us to visit this ancient monument just a few miles away. Described as a 12th century Norman keep with a 14 century garderobe turret. We had a quick explore here but not much to see really.
See PiP for front view.
Pendragon Castle (Cumbria, England)
• A ruined medieval castle in Mallerstang Dale, near Kirkby Stephen.
• Tradition links it with Uther Pendragon, legendary father of King Arthur, though there’s no real historical evidence.
• Probably built in the 12th century by Hugh de Morville.
• Later owned by Lady Anne Clifford in the 17th century, who restored it briefly before it fell into ruin again.
• Today, it’s a romantic ruin with thick walls and some surviving stonework. (ChatGPT)
