The UK's online city guide
Carlisle, in the Cumbria region, was a very poor area of England and remained an insignificant town until its position near the Scottish Border made it a target for the Scots. A stone wall was erected around the town and as a result the Scots never really managed to take hold.
Many centuries passed before the economy in Carlisle began to boom, but eventually better roads allowed Carlisle merchants to travel to sell their goods elsewhere and the Industrial Revolution began to transform the town.
Today Carlisle has award winning facilities like The Lanes shopping centre, The Market Hall, and an abundance of cultural sites such as Carlisle Castle and The Millennium Gallery. So whatever you’re interested in; Carlisle offers a treat for any visitor. Just take a look at our list of attractions and start planning your trip today.
