Pendragon Castle is a ruined fortress of Norman origin situated in the Eden Valley in Westmorland. The castle was founded in the early twelfth century and consists of a substantial keep with surrounding earthwork defences, demonstrating the military architecture typical of the Norman Conquest period. The site occupies a strategic position commanding the valley and shows evidence of later medieval modification and repair. The castle fell into decline following the sixteenth century and now survives as an atmospheric ruin managed as a scheduled monument and heritage site.
