Carlisle: Attractions and more...

Mostly toured in summer, though spring time is a nice season, too, to enjoy its natural beauties and cultural heritage.

Most of the attractions are from the Middle Ages.

The town castle still witnesses the border conflicts, at the time of William the Conqueror, when the feudal system was a florid reality and still preserves the many secrets of such a period.

Interesting to know is that Mary, Queen of Scotland, was among the castle prisoners!

In such an ancient town are many historical and cultural sights like the Tulle House Museum and the Millenium and the Art Gallery, the town Cathedral in Medieval style.

Lots the things which can be done: simply relax enjoying the view of unbelievable landscapes and dawns, visit Hadrian’s wall and the market towns of the area or the famous unforgettable and romantic Lake District, a bit further away.

It has a closely placed historical centre where are to be seen its antique and mysterious castle and the city walls along with the citadel towers, the cathedral and its sole museum.
