Imagine yourself on the battlefield as you discover the thrills and spills of Carlisle’s turbulent history.
Carlisle is a border city with an eventful history dating back more than 2,000 years. Just a stone’s throw from Scotland, its location has played a unique role in the fortunes of the United Kingdom.
It’s also one of Britain’s oldest cities and the ancient walls tell tales of marching Romans, invading armies and a stirring past. Wherever you walk, you’ll arrive at vivid reminders of its noble tale – all mixed up with modern day must-sees like galleries, shops and a vibrant nightlife.
Events pop up throughout the year and you’re always tantalisingly close to breathtaking scenery in every direction. Celts, Romans and Bonnie Price Charlie all passed through here, and legend has it that King Arthur was a visitor, too!
