See inside the ruined Yorkshire castle with its own King Arthur legend

The Grade I-listed ancient monument near Kirkby Stephen, in the remote dale of Mallerstang, is named after Uther Pendragon, the father of King Arthur, who legend has it built the fortress. Sadly, the story isn't true - a 12th-century nobleman called Ranulph de Meschines built the oldest part, a Norman keep, and there are later additions, including a 14th-century turret. The castle was left uninhabitable after attacks by Scottish raiders, but in 1660 it was restored by Lady Anne Clifford, who added a brew house, bake house, stables and coach house. Her successor abandoned the castle, and even removed lead from the roof, and it later collapsed and fell into ruin again. The castle is now owned by John Bucknall, and there is no public access.
