Pendragon Castle

Pendragon Castle is a historic ruined fortress located in the Mallerstang Valley in Cumbria, England. It was built in the 12th century, traditionally attributed to Uther Pendragon, the legendary father of King Arthur, though this connection is based on folklore rather than history. The castle later became associated with Lady Anne Clifford, who restored it in the 17th century. Constructed from local stone, it once served as a defensive stronghold in a remote area. Today, the remaining ruins stand in a dramatic landscape, attracting visitors interested in history, legends, and the natural beauty of the region.
