Penhill Giant

Penhill giant is a giant found in English folklore and legends. The giant lived in a fortress on Penhill in Wensleydale, Yorkshire. There are general legends and tales about the giant which claim the giant ate flocks of sheep and terrorized maidens in the local area.^[1]^[2]

Ian Taylor wrote the book The Giant of Penhill in which he claimed the legends about the giant could have had some basis in fact and the giant may be a lost terrestrial figure. Taylor also linked ley lines to Penhill.^[3]^[4]
