Steeped in history and tradition, the city’s name harks back to Cumbria’s Celtic roots, and can be translated as Fort of Llywelyn. The area was also ruled by the Romans, Scots and Vikings at various times.
Carlisle was once world famous for its biscuit making, and was also a centre of textiles and engineering during the last century.
The city is linked to the Scottish borders by M74/A74, and to important north-eastern tourist cities such as Newcastle by the M6. This makes Carlisle an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding area. Indeed, just a few miles north of the city is the famous Hadrian’s Wall, built by the Romans in AD 122 to control the invading Picts. Carlisle Castle, which once held Mary, Queen of Scots, is well worth a visit.
