Carlisle
Carlisle has over 2000 years of history. Celts, Romans and invading armies have all left an intriguing legacy to be explored, such as Hadrian's Wall, a fascinating World Heritage Site and the most important monument built by the Romans in Britain.
Carlisle Castle, built in 1092 by William Rufus, is remarkably well preserved and offers tours of the grounds and chambers within, including the dungeons where the famous "licking stones" can be seen. Just a short walk away is Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery , a classical Grade One Listed Jacobean building, full of exciting exhibits and interactive displays.
Running through some of the most attractive scenery in the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbrian Fells, the Settle-Carlisle railway is world famous for its Victorian architecture, huge stone viaducts, long tunnels and remote wayside station buildings.
Located just a 10 minute walk from Carlisle city centre, the Sands Centre plays host to international orchestras, theatre, opera and ballet companies, international recording artists and comedians, both past and present.
