Pendragon Castle, Mallerstang

When I first mentioned Pendragon to my wife she thought we were going to Cornwall. But no, in spite of the Cornish-sounding name it is in Cumbria, in the upper reaches of the Eden Valley as it climbs up beyond Kirkby Stephen to the Pennine watershed (and beyond there is Wensleydale).

My last visit to Pendragon was on a rather dull day but Saturday was a beautiful clear sky and even warmish sun. Here then are the ruins of Lady Anne Clifford's Pendragon Castle on a nice clear day.
