DJI P3 - Pendragon castle - Cumbria - Drone flight.

Pendragon Castle
is a ruin located in Mallerstang dale, Cumbria, close to the hamlet of Outhgill, at grid reference NY781025. It stands in an atmospheric spot above a bend in the river Eden, overlooked by Wild Boar Fell to the south-west and Mallerstang Edge to the east. It is a grade I listed building.
Legend:
According to legend, the castle was built by Uther Pendragon, father of King Arthur, who is said to have unsuccessfully tried to divert the river to provide its moat, as is recalled in a well known local couplet:
Let Uther Pendragon do what he can,
Eden will run where Eden ran.
Uther (if he was indeed a real person) was possibly a 5th-century chieftain who led resistance to the invading Anglo-Saxons. According to another local legend, Uther and many of his men died here when the Saxons poisoned the well (but other legends give St Albans as the location for his death). There are several other "Arthurian" sites in Cumbria, for example King Arthur's Round Table, near Penrith - and many names in the North-west, such as Penrith and Cumbria have Celtic origins.
History:
However, despite legend (and the discovery of a Roman coin) there is no evidence of any pre-Norman use of this site. The castle was built in the 12th century by Ranulph de Meschines, during the reign of King William Rufus. It has the remains of a Norman keep, with the later addition of a 14th-century garderobe turret, and some further additions in the 17th century.
One of its most notable owners was Sir Hugh de Morville, Lord of Westmorland - one of the four knights who murdered St Thomas Beckett in 1170. A nearby high-point on Mallerstang Edge is named after him, as Hugh Seat. Another owner was Lady Ideona de Veteripont who, after the death of her husband (Roger de Lilburn), spent much of her remaining years living in the castle, until her death in 1334. Lady Ideona founded the church of St Mary in the nearby hamlet of Outhgill, ca 1311.
The castle was attacked by Scots raiding parties in 1342 and again in 1541. After the latter attack it remained an uninhabitable ruin until it passed into the hands of Lady Anne Clifford, who rebuilt it in 1660, also adding a brew house, bake house, stables and coach house. It remained one of the favourites among her many castles until her death in 1676 at the age of 86 years.
Lady Anne's successor, the Earl of Thanet, had no use for the castle and removed anything of value from it, including the lead from the roof. By the 1770s much of the building above the second storey had collapsed, and it has since gradually decayed further to become the romantic ruin seen today.
In recent years some of the rubble has been cleared, some consolidation of the crumbling walls has been undertaken, and a limited archaeological survey has been carried out by the Lancaster University Archaeological Unit published in 1996.
The castle is privately owned and on farm land. There is public access to the outside of the building, with a warning that the castle walls should not be entered. It appears that some remedial work has been carried out with the aid of a grant.

Great video and history lesson. I have heard about Uther Pendragon . Its a shame such castles go to waste.But todays repair and up keeping of the owners would cost a heck of a lot of money And work. Still make's you wonder. thanks was great as usual

Awesome video, thank you for this. I love this place and go as often as I can. Do you need permission to shoot or can you just take footage? Not sure who owns the place to be honest but would like to take some pics and video myself. Thanks again for sharing..

[@PBazBarrett]

Yes nice work mate.. Good stuff..

[@DronescApe]

PBazBarrett thank you mate really enjoyed filming this beautiful place 👍

[@ChrisM-yr5tt]

Nice video. thanks for the sub. I havent flown DJI for a long time. I was going to make some suggestions but this video is 4 years old. I used to spin around to fast and not have a plan when i first took off. I think we just want to take a look around in a new place from above. Very pretty area. Its kind of funny I started with DJI advanced Phantom 2 of them about 10 years ago. Havent flown the quad in probably 3 years. I got the bug for fpv acro and small aircraft 5-4-3 inch acros mostly. It was pretty cool a few years ago flying with stabilization and gps and return to home. The reason its ironic for me is I just recently got dji goggles for their video and caddx nebula pro for the video but not using the DJI radio transmittor. I guess I find it funny that DJI managed to do the goggles and video better than my good set of 1 year old analog goggles can do.. I havent looked at your more recent videos for a bit. Im guessing that you stepped up your game to the same type of fpv flight that I enjoy. Keep Flying its living!

[@DronescApe]

cheers pal, yes i've come along way from my previous vids, learned so much. i stopped for a while but really missed it! got myself the mini 2 and wow it has made me realise just how much i have missed flying!

[@ScotiaDroning]

Really nice footage. It is a shame that the structure fell into disrepair. Looks like a scenic spot...Well done. Like from me.

[@DronescApe]

Scotia Droning totally agree, how this peace of history is allowed to fade away! I loved filming this today, the moat around the castle is absolutely amazing !! thanks for watching my friend 👍Wayne!

[@droneuk]

Nice video, great subject matter and like the music. I would say try not to yaw the drone as much during moving forward or up. Gives a more pro look 👍🏻

[@DronescApe]

ADMR1985 thank you my friend and for the comment, do what do you mean yaw...still learnig so thank you for tips 👍

[@droneuk]

No probs 😬 Yaw is rotating left or right

[@DronescApe]

ADMR1985 just been reading about yaw, agreed still mastering the art of editing 😊and again thank you for advice 👍

[@droneuk]

Heya, no probs, I am still new to drone videography but learnt a lot recently and still learning 😊

[@DronescApe]

ADMR1985 yep it's the hardest part 😊 thanks again for advice, this is why I love watching and sub to people so much advice to share about 👍
