For a certain lady that thinks I'm a knight in shining armour..When really I'm a rusty old bucket.. Pendragon Castle is reputed to have been founded by Uther Pendragon, the father of King Arthur. According to legend, Uther Pendragon and a hundred of his men were killed here when the Saxon invaders poisoned the well. There are also claims that the Romans built at least a temporary fort here, along the road between their forts at Brough and Bainbridge. But (apart from legend and supposition), there is no real evidence that there was any building here before the Normans built their castle in the 12th Century.

A very nice shot of these old castle ruins. The long shadows and the bits of purple foliage growing on the castle walls simply add to a great photograph. Very interesting bit of history, too.

Are those violets that are growing in the stones? Whatever they are, they look pretty cool. Nice, nearly new castle, Biff. LOL.

Fantastic, especially with the living flowers, which certainly add to the old castle. Great job done by a 'Rusty Old Bucket'! I only hope you don't get too rusty to carry on with your photography skills.
