City
Let us welcome you to Cumbria's only city perfectly positioned between the border of Scotland and the Lake District.
A unique combination of over 2,000 years of history blends with independent shops, pavement cafes, vibrant eateries and a lively Cumbrian spirit.
​
Delve into Roman Carlisle by beginning your historical adventure at Hadrian's Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
