- Pendragon castle home to ghosts, myths and legends and a link to King Arthur?
Not far from the Lammerside castle which was in the last Castles of Britain Video ( • Medieval ruins of Lamm... ) Lies Pendragon, the name conjures up Myth and Legend connected to King Arthur. His Father is said to have built a castle here in the 5th century. With ghost stories and bags of character, lets have a look at this beautiful ruin in its stunning location by the River Eden in Mallerstang Vale, Cumbria.
Why not take the kids during the School holidays and get them away from that computer and fire their imagination.

Well on the subject of ghosts - when my kids were young we visited Dolbedarn castle in North Wales which is a single tower style Welsh Princes castle. As we stood in the bottom of the empty tower looking up at the sky & the windows in the walls, my eldest son, about 8 at the time, suddenly pulled at my clothes & whispered "Mom did you see the man standing there ?" - there was nobody in the castle but ourselves, but he still swears to this day that he did see somebody !!! That tower has since been repaired, there are now outside stairs up to the first floor door which I saw when I researched it online recently, I haven't been back there, but it looks as tho they may have restored it. This is all happened around 1969 or so when there were no outside steps, and just a broken wall opening in the bottom to get inside. I often wonder who's ghost he saw ! We naturally did not hang around long after that ! This Pendragon castle is interesting, I do believe in King Arthur !
Thanks for watching, and for sharing your amazing story. Dolbadarn Castle features briefly in the Llanberis video on the channel czcams.com/video/Ic3m8QJyT18/video.htmlsub_confirmation=1
I'm into science and history and I can enjoy a good ghost story but I find ghosts damn inconvenient. I would practice archery at a local Potter's Field or cemetery for the unclaimed. Nobody would visit and no grave stones to break my arrows. One day after many strange happenings, my arrow exploded in mid air. I watched a leaf turn a perfect circle far from any trees. Sounds flaky but it was precision clockwork. I fell asleep there once and later that day I became someone else 3 times for 3 different personalities. Now I know!
I still don't believe in King Arthur !
Another great adventure, stunning scenery and King Arthur? 100% real :)
And the ghosts too!
Thank you lovely account of this beautiful 🏰 castle
Thank you for watching
Loved Pendragon Castle and yes, I do believe!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Will be watching for more ♥️
Thank you. Have you watched this one?

Pendragon means "dragon head", and if you are a 6th century peasant in Britain who has never seen a Roman legionary's helmet, then it might look like a dragon's head to you, with its large crest atop. In the 6th century Britain was full of abandoned Roman military ware, and Uter might have worn a Roman helmet which has made quite an impression on the people, and the nickname "dragon head" stuck.
Close, but no cigar for you.
King Arthur is real to most children. As they age they find he is a fictional character.....but, for me, he's very real. His name may not be Arthur, but he did exist. Too many similar stories from different sources have all agreed that he lived.
Thanks for watching. There's usually truth behind legend 👍
Hello my good friend.. I'd like to say that I've been subscribed to your channel for a while but I haven't today is my first subscription while watching Pendragon castle 🏰 I've actually been here multiple times some years ago.. I was visiting lammerside castle. But then I was a paranormal investigator and parapsychologist.. yes that seems like a life time ago but I reverted back to military career only several months ago returned home from Ukraine. My reason why I send you comment is simply because it's a great video as you have certainly put lots of work into the editing. I just like to say that I will be sticking around. Lammerside castle was a great experience for me and my small team. Lots of strange things happen to us but this was way back in 2008 or 09. We stayed there for a few days in my LT35 campervan and we paid many visits to Pendragon. I don't remember the undercroft or the v being fixed in anyway so this must be a recent upgrade to the castles keeping and it's awesome to see people are trying to keep history. So thank you for everything you've done.. and I look forward to watching many more of your Eastwood.. any relation, you knew I was going to ask if you were related to Clint.. ok maybe you might not see that funny but I do apologise.. so yeah great work look forward to coming in on many more and I hope all of the videos are similar..
Thank you. No, I'm not related to Clint, though wish I were a few quid behind him 😆
Welcome aboard, more videos to come. I've just been sorting things out for Mum and Dad's care, but will be back on it now that we have got them settled in a new home. There is a video of Lammerside on the channel too. czcams.com/video/PCUlARcBBKo/video.html
Thank you, Sir, for giving a wonderful tour of Pendragon, which was name of Arthur's father and The flag of Wales, The Red Pendragon.
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Cool to see the very pronounced motte in your drone footage! That's something you can't see as pronounced from on the ground. It's really clear why they call it the most romantic Castle ruin. Love it! Also, king Arthur: real. But his legends are probably An amalgamation of heroic stories, related to multiple or maybe no real People at all. It's the same with a lot of early christian saints 🙂
Thank you for your comment. Agree on King Arthur and indeed the saints
This is super interesting, love how you presented this. What a place! Thanks for sharing
Thank you, really appreciate your kind comment
Nearby, in The Park, at Threlkeld, above it was the mountain, "Blencathra" which means "Seat of Arthur". My mother's maiden name was Threlkeld. She passed away recently, July 8, 2022, aged 99yrs and 3 months. Her sister, celebrated 99yrs, today. Another sister is 94yrs and their brother, my uncle, Joseph Reed Threlkeld is 95yrs. I'm 77yrs.
A long lived family, thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Visited this castle many times. What a wonderful spot and a great video. Yes, I do believe people can see ghost images but what they are looking at is a holographic image trapped in time and only viewed when the lighting.conditions are perfect. What we are seeing is an actual image of a person or event trapped in time.
Thanks for watching and leaving an interesting comment

Thanks Chris
Been here, and loved it. It gave me chills as i touched the walls, i felt like i needed permission to enter! Very strange feeling 😟 We found part of a clay pipe dated from 15th or 16th century!
Nice find
Superb video. I woinder what the castle looked like when complete. Thank you. Veronique
Thank you Veronique
Wonderful video! I intend to visit it shortly.
Thank you, it's well worth a visit
I love these videos. We don't have real castles here in the States and I want to see them all!
There's more to come. Thanks for watching.

Some Fantastic Castles in North Wales 👌
There is, and hopefully, I will get round to some of those, too. Thanks for watching
that arch at 9 minute has really survived the test of time. amazing how it could hold so much weight and last forever
They built them to last, that's for sure. Thanks for watching
What a shame that no one could afford to keep up this remarkable piece if history. As for Arthur, I definitely believe he was real. Perhaps he was a Roman soldier who stayed behind and was experienced in the most modern warfare of the time. Perhaps he was a Celt who was trained by the Romans. Maybe Uther was as well, but most legends have some basis in fact.
Thanks for watching. No smoke without fire as they say.
Thanks for sharing this video. I’ve enjoyed the castle views and the details of the structure. Great job. I’m subscribing !
Lynn
Thanks, and welcome aboard
Thanks. There's more in ANCIENT SHOCK, on the Dragons, including this one. They are NOT what they seem.
Wonderful video! This is 20 minutes away from my house! Always love it here but it's a bit tricky to get around in my wheelchair 😜
Thank you. Yes, it would be tricky getting around the Castle in a chair. Hopefully, I have brought it closer to you.
@@eastwoodsadventures Definitely with those tight squeezes 😁
There is usually a core element of truth in ancient legends - in fact, oral transmission is often more reliable than written, Schliemann, for example, found the site of Troy from the descriptions in the Iliad, not the right level, but the site and that from the written text recording the oral tradition maintained over hundreds of years. It is highly likely that there was a Romano- British warlord who resisted the Saxons, although the embroidery of the Round Table, the Grail Quest, etc are far more dubious.
Thanks for watching, and thank you for commenting.
That's the sort of size castle that they made in France using traditional methods, I think it was all done with volunteers, I bet most of the stone is lying about inside and outside of the walls, privately owned as well, I would like to volunteer to rebuild a castle!
I would like to believe Arthur was real and that he was a good ruler. But--it may be a lovely tale.
Probably a few tales mixed together to make a legend
@@eastwoodsadventures 👍
Get time team there, if there's anything connected with the Authurian legend they'll find it
Great video. New subscriber here. Who’s playing the haunting sidetrack towards the end please? It’s beautiful as well.
Thanks for the sub! Sorry, I can't remember the track I used. It would have been from CZcams studio at the time I did the video. Use epidemic sound now.
I've been here and while it is somehow eerie I didn't get any "vibes" of spiritual presence. It seemed very abandoned and lonely. All essence of life lived long lost.
I felt like I was being watched, but it was the sheep 🐑
I noticed the castle has many barrel vaults and arches. The Romans invented them.
Love this!((
Thank you. More castles in this play list czcams.com/play/PLwe46YHuMZvUKgt4ElC8prYSvnV1Hy6_W.html?sub_confirmation=1
@@eastwoodsadventures enjoyed your manner of presenting, we could really envision how it would have been.,the non-annoying sound track,. and I've always heard about Pendragon, but no one else has ever done such a dinner job, with the history snippets and everything... Ur so lucky to walk through these places. 🏞️ something I never knew I needed to see!! Sharing this.
@Jo Setu Thank you so much, it honestly means a lot.
I noticed some sheep climbing the walls. Very disrespectful !
Ewe wouldn't believe what they get up to when no one's around, they go on a right RAMpage. 🐑🐏🐑
@@eastwoodsadventures ba a a ad
if these walls could talk...
Yes I always think that
same can be said for Hadrians wall.
Thanks for watching. Explored parts of the wall but need spend more time on it
Are there any artists renderings of what the original castle may have looked like in it's hey day?
Tou may find something online but there was nothing on site.
Thanks for watching
The obvious question is - when was the castle first given the name 'Pendragon'?
It's unlikely that the Normans called it that so all the fanciful stories linking the castle with Uther were, no doubt, created in the medieval heyday of Arthurian myth making.
The 'official' sites don't give an answer.
PS. That fount of all knowledge Wikipedia gives a date of 1309.
Thanks for watching
I believe in king arthur
Do kendal castle
Oh you have lol 😊
Ha ha 😂
There's a few others on the channel in a playlist, too.
Is he real or myth? I am showing him to be a paternal ancestor.
My dads paternal line goes back so far with more than 160 kings and princes from ancient Wales, The Druids and Jerusalem. Is that possible??
Thanks for watching. Guess anything is possible
@@eastwoodsadventures
In the above case perhaps not everything.
I dont think king Arthur was real. He was an idealized myth-king of an idealized "Golden Age".
Kisses to Elsa!
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I'll pass kisses on to Elsa 😆
The (?) question mark in the title. There has been so many stories regarding King Arthur. The French created the Arthurian Romances - they added the jousting knights of medieval times plus Guinevere and Lancelot. If they had wrote the story today - it would be footballers round the table and Posh and Beckham.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment
I believe Arthur was a real person, but Camelot was a myth.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Yeah king Arfur was a gueezzer mate 🏴
I'd love to see it restored.
That would be a massive task, but what a sight it would be. Thanks for watching 🙏
I realize the great expense. And you would have to quarry all the houses in the area and return the stone. Sorry I couldn't resist. But there's so much history just rotting. I'm very American but caves and castles are a real fascination for me.
@dennisgarrison3537 That's great, plenty more Castles on the channel, with more to come in future videos, if you would like to subscribe it would be greatly appreciated 👍
