Historic <strong>Carlisle</strong>...<br />
In its 2000 year history, <strong>Carlisle</strong> has seen Celts, Romans, warring families and invading armies leave a legacy for<br />
you to explore. In <strong>Carlisle</strong>’s Historic Quarter, you will find a castle, cathedral and museums in a compact area,<br />
criss crossed with ancient thoroughfares. Within its confines, you can learn about the past, away from the hustle<br />
and bustle of city life.<br />
The magnificent Castle, founded in 1092<br />
by William the Conquerer’s son, stands as<br />
testament to years of feuding over the<br />
English-Scottish border. Once the prison<br />
of Mary Queen of Scots and home to the<br />
King’s Own Royal Border Regiment, you can<br />
explore its dungeons and labyrinths, find the<br />
Licking Stones and prisoners’ carvings and<br />
discover how it was captured by Bonnie<br />
Prince Charlie in 1745.<br />
<strong>Carlisle</strong> was once enclosed by mighty walls.<br />
The West Walls built from 1122 are all that<br />
remain but are a fine example of what these<br />
defences looked like. <strong>Carlisle</strong>’s commercial<br />
success is revealed in the Guildhall<br />
Museum. Built in 1407, it was once a<br />
meeting place of the medieval trade guilds<br />
whilst all the threads of <strong>Carlisle</strong>’s life and<br />
times are woven together in the displays of<br />
Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery.<br />
At the centre of the Historic Quarter is<br />
<strong>Carlisle</strong> Cathedral. Founded in 1122 and<br />
battered by centuries of warfare, it was built<br />
for the glory of God and prayers have been<br />
said there daily for nearly 900 years. The<br />
Cathedral contains many items of historical<br />
interest, including a display of silver and<br />
treasures illustrating the history of<br />
Christianity in Cumbria over the centuries,<br />
and a number of stained glasses dating<br />
back as far as the 14th century.<br />

...alive with History<br />
Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery is an<br />
excellent choice for a great day out for all the<br />
family. The Old Tullie House is a Grade One<br />
listed building, dating back to the 17th century,<br />
surrounded by wonderful gardens and<br />
containing beautiful architectural features<br />
such as an original Jacobean staircase.<br />
The Old Town Hall, dating from 1717 and<br />
set in the city centre, is now home to our<br />
award winning Tourist Information Centre.<br />
It is an imposing Grade One listed building<br />
and serves over 180,000 visitors a year.<br />
Close to <strong>Carlisle</strong>’s Historic Quarter stands<br />
the Citadel, an impressive pair of oval<br />
towers guarding the southern entrance to<br />
the city. The ‘twin drum’ bastions were built<br />
by Henry VIII to reinforce national defences<br />
as a precaution against reprisal from Europe<br />
for the dissolution of the monasteries. Two<br />
new towers were added at the beginning of<br />
the 19th century and some original masonry<br />
from the 16th century still exist today.<br />
<strong>Carlisle</strong>’s railway station is also known as<br />
the Citadel station. It was built in 1847 by<br />
William Tite who was also responsible for<br />
the London Stock Exchange.<br />
<strong>Carlisle</strong>’s Historic Quarter continues to<br />
evolve to this day and will play an even<br />
greater role in the business, social and<br />
cultural life of <strong>Carlisle</strong> in the future.<br />

Walk in the footsteps of legionnaires<br />
During the Roman occupation of Britain, most of the Northern lands were under the control of native British<br />
tribes. General Agricola, Britain’s first Roman Governor appointed in AD78, decreed to tame these ‘wild<br />
barbarians’ in the North.<br />
When Hadrian arrived in AD122, the<br />
barbarians were still at large, with some<br />
Pictish tribes (ancient inhabitants of<br />
Scotland) leading raids on Roman territory.<br />
In order to defend his empire’s boundaries<br />
and physically mark the frontier of the<br />
Roman Empire, Hadrian ordered the<br />
building of a mighty stone and turf barrier<br />
stretching across the border from the<br />
Solway Firth in the west and ending after<br />
73 miles (or 80 Roman ones) at Wallsend<br />
on the north east coast.<br />
When completed there were more than<br />
30 forts on the frontier with 80 milecastles<br />
and 160 turrets. Hadrian’s Wall is now one<br />
of the most important designated World<br />
Heritage Sites in existence.<br />
Today there are many major Roman sites<br />
and museums to discover along its route.<br />
You can explore the stunning landscape on<br />
foot or by bike, at your own pace or by<br />
using one of the recommended itineraries,<br />
taking in the fantastic atmosphere of<br />
market towns and quaint villages you<br />
will find along the way.<br />
The 84 mile Hadrian’s Wall Path National<br />
Trail allows you to walk in the footsteps<br />
of Roman Legionnaires on a fascinating<br />
journey across the North of England,<br />
taking in some of the country’s greatest<br />
archaeological monuments and relics from<br />
the time of Roman occupation. Using<br />
<strong>Carlisle</strong> as a base, you can explore many<br />
parts of the Wall.<br />

....explore the Wall<br />
To the east of <strong>Carlisle</strong>, spectacular stretches<br />
of the Wall are still intact at Birdoswald<br />
Roman Fort and Visitor Centre including a<br />
fort, turret and milecastle. The Visitor Centre<br />
has interesting displays and reconstructions,<br />
tracing the history of the Wall via audiovisuals,<br />
strikingly life-like figures and excavated<br />
artifacts. The section of Wall leading to the<br />
east of Birdoswald is the longest continuous<br />
span still visible to this day.<br />
To the west of <strong>Carlisle</strong>, the Trail offers a<br />
pleasant walk through to Bowness on<br />
Solway providing spectacular views of<br />
Scotland and the Galloway Hills. Further<br />
down the coast, there are more Roman<br />
sites and artefacts to see. Senhouse Roman<br />
Museum stands on cliffs overlooking the<br />
Solway Firth, next to the Maryport Roman<br />
fort built by Marcus Agrippa. The museum<br />
displays the largest group of Roman military<br />
altar stones and inscriptions from any site<br />
in Britain and unique examples of Romano-<br />
British religious sculpture.<br />
The 174 mile Hadrian’s Cycleway gives<br />
cyclists the opportunity to enjoy these<br />
inspiring sites as it winds across the North<br />
of England from coast to coast, starting at<br />
Ravenglass Roman Fort or Glannaventa as<br />
the Romans called it. It contains the<br />
remains of a Roman bath house which are<br />
some of northern Britain’s tallest surviving<br />
Roman structures standing almost 13 feet<br />
high. For more information visit<br />
www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall<br />
Alternatively, why not take a trip on the<br />
Hadrian’s Wall Bus and visit the main<br />
Roman sites or friendly market towns<br />
and villages along the Wall? The AD122<br />
runs between <strong>Carlisle</strong> and Newcastle and<br />
at certain times, heritage guides will travel<br />
with you on the bus.<br />

Hidden Treasures<br />
The countryside around Historic <strong>Carlisle</strong> contains many hidden treasures in contrasting landscapes that are sure<br />
to delight. Nine miles east of <strong>Carlisle</strong> is Talkin Tarn Country Park, a 65-acre lake set amid 120 acres of farmland<br />
and woodland. The tarn is an ideal place for a quiet stroll through mature woodlands or an active day of bike<br />
riding and watersports.<br />
Talkin Tarn was formed by a glacier around<br />
10,000 years ago and is fed by underground<br />
streams. Many events are held throughout<br />
the year, such as activity days and craft fairs.<br />
In the pretty town of Brampton, St Martin’s<br />
Church contains one of the most exquisite<br />
sets of stained glass designed by Sir Edward<br />
Burne-Jones and executed in the William<br />
Morris studio.<br />
Nearby in rolling countryside, the beautiful<br />
Lanercost Priory founded by Augustinian<br />
canons in 1166 provides peace and<br />
tranquility for all. When completed in 1220,<br />
canons came from a priory in Norfolk, and<br />
remained for some 370 years until the<br />
Dissolution of the Monasteries.<br />
North of Hadrian’s Wall, the countryside was<br />
once a lawless place, scarred by battles<br />
between rival families called Border Reivers.<br />
Until the 17th century, reiving – raiding for<br />
cattle and sheep – was the only way to<br />
survive. Reivers held no allegiance to the<br />
Crown, only to their family surnames. When<br />
the reign of the Reivers ended, many of<br />
their descendants spread across the<br />
country and beyond. The first man on the<br />
moon was an Armstrong, descended from<br />
the Reivers of that name.<br />
Traversing this region and down to the<br />
Yorkshire Dales is the 72 mile <strong>Carlisle</strong> to<br />
Settle railway with 14 tunnels and 17 major<br />
viaducts spanning the ravines. On ‘steam<br />
days’ you can experience the sights, sounds<br />
and smells of the great Steam Age.<br />

While every care has been taken in the accuracy of producing this list of events, the publisher is not liable for any errors or omissions that may inadvertently<br />

occur. Details of events are subject to change at any time and should be checked with the venue before travelling. All details are correct as at December 2009.
Choosing your accommodation<br />
When looking for somewhere to stay, you need a rating system that<br />
you can trust. In order to be eligible for inclusion in this Guide, we<br />
at <strong>Carlisle</strong> insist that every accommodation establishment must<br />
have a valid national classification.<br />
Never has Quality meant so much<br />
All the accommodation featured in this guide has been quality<br />
assessed by either VisitBritain or the AA, or has recently<br />
applied for a rating and is awaiting assessment. Please be<br />
aware that ratings may change throughout the year.<br />
All accommodation is assessed and awarded one to five stars<br />
(highest) to reflect the overall quality of the experience. This<br />
includes comfort; the range and quality of facilities and food;<br />
welcome and service; and most importantly the cleanliness.<br />
When choosing your accommodation look for the<br />
Quality Rose, the official marque of the Enjoy<br />
England national tourist board rating scheme.<br />
Places that ‘go the extra mile’ to make your stay a special<br />
one, will be awarded a high star rating and hotels and guest<br />
accommodation may achieve a Gold or Silver award.<br />
Gold and Silver awards for Hotels<br />
and Guest Accommodation<br />
Silver Awards recognise exceptional<br />
quality at all levels and Gold Awards<br />
are given to the very ‘best of the best’.<br />
Higher star-rated accommodation tends to have more<br />
spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, and in hotels a higher<br />
staff to guest ratio, so service should be very attentive.<br />
At five star, you can really expect to be pampered in<br />
luxurious surroundings!<br />
Committed to improving quality in partnership with VisitBritain<br />
Welcome to Excellence<br />
Staff have been trained to provide high levels<br />
of service and customer care.<br />
In addition to VisitBritain and AA ratings, you will<br />
also see Quality Cumbria. This is a local initiative<br />
committed to raising accommodation standards.<br />
All have been assessed to an agreed minimum<br />
standard so you can book with confidence.<br />
Accommodation to suit you<br />
For serviced accommodation, there are two separate<br />
schemes – one for hotels and one for guest accommodation.<br />
Hotels have to be licensed, offer dinner at least 5 nights<br />
a week (unless categorised as a Metro Hotel) and have all<br />
rooms en suite or with private bathrooms.<br />
The different hotel categories are: Hotel, Small Hotel,<br />
Country House Hotel, Metro Hotel, Town House Hotel<br />
and Budget Hotel.<br />
Guest accommodation categories are: Guest<br />
Accommodation, Bed and Breakfasts, Guest Houses, Inns,<br />
Farmhouses and Restaurants with Rooms. They tend to be<br />
personally run by the owners.<br />
Guest accommodation owners have to provide certain<br />
additional facilities and services at the higher star levels.<br />
For self-catering accommodation, the layout and design<br />
of the accommodation and the range and quality of the<br />
kitchen equipment is assessed, as well as the quality and<br />
comfort of the bedrooms and bathrooms and most<br />
importantly, the cleanliness.<br />
Campus – Enjoy England’s campus scheme covers the<br />
universities and colleges that are able to accommodate visitors<br />
during the vacation periods on a bed and breakfast basis.<br />
Generally the rooms are en suite and there will be plenty of<br />
single rooms, so large groups will not present a problem.<br />
Hostels – Hostels provide safe, budget-priced<br />
accommodation for young people, families and larger<br />
groups and are star-rated. Higher rated accommodation<br />
often provides en suite rooms.<br />
Holiday, touring, and camping parks and holiday villages:<br />
Enjoy England awards star ratings reflecting the overall<br />
quality of the park from one to five stars – five stars being<br />
reserved for parks of exceptional quality.<br />
