This was my playground growing up in the 70s. No fences or ladders. Cows grazed on it and the covered areas of the castle was where they slept at night. So many happy memories. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching. There are some very impressive ruins out there, which show how well these castles were built, even though much of the stone has been robbed and reused elsewhere. Head to the channel to see more like this. Next Castle video is in edit and is one of the best I have visited. www.youtube.com/@eastwoodsadventures?sub_confirmation=1
That arch at the south end suggested, to my thinking, that the ground at that entrance used to be a good bit lower. It was a beautiful day when I visited a year ago. Couldn't go to the UK without a stay in my family's namesake town. Frustrating that so much of the castle was dismantled for other uses of the stone. So much of what remains is difficult to imagine now. Thanks for this overview.
Thanks for watching Andrew. You did well to get a beautiful day in England 😆 🌧 🌦 🌂 I guess the moat would be a lot deeper as well if it was dug out to its original level. Many buildings in the UK are built with scavenged parts of Castles and Abbeys etc. Thanks for watching and dropping in a comment
hi there i lived in kendal in the 70s up till the 90s spent many a drunken sat night up the castle good party place must do a road trip bk up north with my mini4 i also notice they have done some restoration work it was well worse bk in the 70s and no stairs up the tower trying to find old pics i have of it happy flying
I’ve been there from time to time. Never see it in such detail and the drone views give a feeling of its place in the land. I think too many people miss the castle, as it’s not well signposted. Thank you.
Looks like the stone has been badly robbed out over the centuries. I guess this is the case with most castles across the landscape. It's a shame, but then at least some of the ruins remain. If the stone hadn't been robbed out, they could probably rebuild some parts of the castle that had naturally fell into ruin over the centuries.

Wow what a playground... had no idea about cows sleeping in the ruins, thanks for commenting.
Thank you for this tour. Even as ruins they are still quite impressive.

The MacMaster talked about the Castle. So I found you and will watch and share your videos.
Thank you. Much appreciated.

Thank you. Yes, to be honest, it was my first visit after visiting Kendal many times. It's something of a hidden gem.
I was there in 1970, if anything it looks slightly better now.
They have done a good job of consolidation and the stairs.
Catherine Parr married 3 of my Reatives!
Wow, she must have liked Wedding cake 😆 thanks for watching 🙏

It's easier to take it than quarry new stone
