Location information for Carlisle

While Carlisle doesn't offer a whole holiday experience, it does serve as a great starting point for travels and backpacking trips along the Lake District. This English cathedral city is known for being a former fortress that protects the country from the north. Carlisle is located on the north end of the Lake District and if you want to conveniently experience everything that this region has to offer, you might want to arrange for cheap car hire in Carlisle as soon as you arrive.

Because the city itself is quite small, it is easy to get around town on foot. The attractions are actually within a short walking distance from one another so while touring the city centre, you might want to park your budget car rental elsewhere first. For your tour of the city, make sure to visit the Carlisle Cathedral. For a city this size, the cathedral is definitely an impressive sight. The structure was built in 1112 and its original form is still being maintained to this day.

After that, you want to head for another famous landmark in the city. The Carlisle Castle stands tall from its location in the city centre. It is maintained by the English Heritage and was built in 1093 by King William II. From then on, it has guarded the border against potential attacks from the north.

While you're in Carlisle, you shouldn't miss taking a walk along the city's part of what was once the Hadrian's Wall. You might also want to learn more about this wall by observing artefacts and exhibits from the Tullie House Museum.
