The city has a vast amount of history hosting the medieval Carlisle Castle, a majestic Cathedral, the citadel and many other buildings that have been standing for centuries. The regions premier Museum and Art Gallery, Tullie House, was a Silver award winner in the National Enjoy England Awards for Excellence in 2008 and is an excellent choice for a great day out for the whole family.
10 miles to the East of Carlisle lies Birdoswald Roman Fort, where not only can you gaze at a significant stretch of Hadrians Wall, you can see the remains of the Roman fort, visit the on-site museum or simply relax at their cafe.
For the more adventurous, take a walk along the original path used by the Romans to construct the Roman Wall which has now become a famous World Heritage site. Originally built to keep out the invading Scots, the wall now provides the path that thousands of people follow each year from coast to coast. Many sections of the wall still exist along the route, complete with visitor centres, museums and sight seeing tours.
