Carlisle tourist information and visitor guide | tourUK.co.uk > Carlisle Tourist Information The city of Carlisle lies in the far north of Cumbria, 10 miles from the Scottish border. Once the county town of Cumberland, Carlisle is the administrative centre for both the district and for Cumbria. The Border City is also the main shopping, commercial and industrial centre for North Cumbria and a good part of southern Scotland. An ancient site, Carlisle lies on a slight rise at the confluence of the Rivers Eden, Caldew and Petteril. The Romans established a settlement here to serve the forts on Hadrian's Wall. Because this was the last English town before the border with Scotland, Carlisle became an important military stronghold. Carlisle Castle was built in 1092 by William Rufus, son of William the Conqueror. In 1568 Mary Queen of Scots was held prisoner at the castle. Today the ancient fortress houses the King's Own Royal Border Regiment and the intriguing Border Regiment Museum. The Norman keep, boasting panoramic views, hosts an exhibition on Bonnie Prince Charlie's uprising. In 1746 'The Young Pretender' and his supporters briefly captured Carlisle Castle.

In the early 12th century Henry I allowed the foundation of a religous settlement in Carlisle. When he made the town a dioese in 1122, the priory became the cathedral. Carlisle's fine red sandstone Cathedral has the largest east window of any cathedral in Europe. Within the grounds of the Cathedral is the Prior's Tower, dating from the 14th century, which has a painted 16th century heraldic ceiling and houses a small exhibition. At the end of the 18th century Carlisle began to prosper as a textile centre. In the 19th century Carlisle's strategic position meant that it developed as an important railway town, with seven railway companies sharing its impressive station. The city lies at the northern end of the famous 72 mile Settle - Carlisle Railway and steam trains can often be spotted at Carlisle Station. Tourist attractions in Carlisle include the award-winning Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery. Linking the museum and the castle is the Millennium Subway, featuring specially commissioned art works.

These include the Bishop Stone, a 2.5 meter boulder inscribed with the colourfully worded curse, issued 500 years ago by the Archbishop of Glasgow on border rustlers and robbers. A feature of Carlisle is the Citadel, two immense oval towers which once formed the southern entrance to the city. Until recently the towers housed the city's civil and criminal courts. Now restored, the building houses the Cumbria County Council and the West Tower, which held the criminal courts, is open to the public. Carlisle is certainly worth a visit, and there are plenty of shops, restaurants, and thing to do here. News - Red Cross/ Red Crescent Climate Centre Red Cross/ Red Crescent Climate Centre UK minister links floods in north-west of England to climate change 09/12/2015 - by the Climate Centre The British Red Cross ( BRC ) this week launched a major operation in the north-west English counties of Cumbria and Lancashire hit by Storm Desmond and subsequent flooding. Red Cross volunteers and staff have helped at least 400 people affected by floods since Saturday, a number that may yet rise.

The National Society has been running a refuge in Carlisle, the largest city in Cumbria, the worst affected of the two counties. It also opened temporary rest centres in Appleby, Kendal, Corbridge and Keswick. “People walk in [to our rest centre] with a glazed expression,” David Taylor, Red Cross emergency team leader in Cumbria and the north-east, told BBC radio. “For us flood recovery is key – the way we support them over the coming months and years to get their lives back in order.” Heavy rain Carlisle, a short distance south of the Scottish border, lies at the confluence of three rivers – the Eden, Caldew and Petteril – and also was hit by severe floods in 2005. Prime Minister David Cameron visited the region earlier this week and described the damage as “horrific”. News reports say some 50,000 people were left without electric power for several days, 3,500 homes were washed out, and 40 schools had to be closed; one death was reported. The British environment minister Liz Truss said the floods and the storm that preceded them were “consistent with the trends we’re seeing in terms of climate change”.

On Saturday the UK Met Office said Desmond, the fourth named storm of the season, was bringing “potentially damaging gusts of wind across northern England”. Heavy rain totalling up to 200 mm was expected across Cumbria at that stage. As of today (Wednesday), the UK Environment Agency had 12 flood warnings in force – one of them severe, but 68 warnings and alerts had been lifted in the preceding 24 hours after waters receded and the clear up began. Flood losses A BRC app available to download from the National Society’s homepage now delivers real-time flood alerts, severe-weather warnings and practical advice. Scientists working with the new World Weather Attribution programme are expected later this week to publish a quantitative analysis of the influence of climate change on the latest UK floods. Last year, a paper published online by Nature Climate Change reported that flood losses in Europe are likely to increase “considerably” over the next few decades, partly because of projected climate change. Major floods are expected to become more common and strain disaster finance, it said, at both country and EU level, highlighting the need to anticipate and respond to such disasters.

The red sandstone church of St Margaret and St James dates from the 11th century. It was restored in 1880, but much of the Norman origin survived. Long Marton Railway Station - situated on the Settle-Carlisle line - served the village until 1970. Built by the Midland Railway it was opened along with the line in 1876. The station buildings were sold and converted into a private residence after closure and remain in use as such today. However the platforms were demolished which precluded the station from being considered for reopening when the local service over the line restarted in 1986.

Appleby-in-Westmorland Appleby-in-Westmorland is only 3 miles from White Gate Caravan Park and is situated within a loop of the River Eden and has a population of approximately 2,500. Appleby is a scenic town which offers a mixture of craft and traditional shops, and a good choice of cafes and public houses - with roaring fires and hearty traditional food. The award-winning Appleby-in-Westmorland railway station is on the Settle-Carlisle line. Appleby is overlooked by the privately owned Appleby Castle, a predominantly Norman structure, which provided the home for Lady Anne Clifford, in the seventeenth century. The annual Appleby Horse Fair, held regularly in early June, since at least the 18th century, brings crowds from all over Britain to the town. Appleby has an extensive list of amenities including a swimming pool , squash, bowls, gym, golf, bike hire, county cricket,fishing, riding, tennis, go-karting, cycling and walking. Visit the Appleby Town Council website for more information Penrith The historic market town of Penrith is only 25 minutes away.

Penrith is a large market town with a great selection of shops, railway station and castle. Penrith is in the Eden Valley, just north of the River Eamont, and lies less than 3 miles outside the boundaries of the Lake District National Park. A partially man-made watercourse, known as Thacka Beck, flowing through the centre of the town, connects the Rivers Petteril and Eamont. For many centuries, the Beck provided the town with its main water supply. The Lake District The Lake District National Park is the largest National Park in the country (occupying 885 square miles) and is considered one of its most scenic regions and England's premier destination for hiking and climbing. The Lake District comprises of 16 lakes, 53 tarns, and several "waters". All possess their own unique features and provide a comforting sense of permanence, standing as they do, framed by glorious backdrops of mountains, fells, and woodland. Ullswater the second largest lake in the English Lake District is only 15 miles and less than 30 minutes away from White Gate Caravan Park.

Windermere, at 10.5 miles long, one mile wide and 220 feet deep, is the largest lake in England. Bowness-on-Windermere is The Lakes most popular resort and is an excellent centre for boating activities. Steamers and launches operate from Bowness Bay to Waterhead at Ambleside, and Lakeside at the southern end. Carlisle The ancient border-city of Carlisle is only 40 minutes away. Carlisle is the county town of Cumbria and is located at the confluence of the rivers Eden, Caldew and Petteril. 10 miles south of the Scottish border it is the largest settlement in the county of Cumbria with a population above 70,000. During the Middle Ages, because of its proximity to the Kingdom of Scotland, Carlisle became an important military stronghold; Carlisle Castle, still relatively intact, was built in 1092 by William Rufus, and having once served as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots. The castle now houses the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment and the Border Regiment Museum.

Nicknamed the Border City, Carlisle today is the main cultural, commercial and industrial centre for north Cumbria. It is home to the main campuses of the University of Cumbria and a variety of museums and heritage centres including the award-winning Tullie House museum. The Settle-Carlisle Railway The Settle-Carlisle line is a 73 mile long main railway line constructed in the 1870s. The line runs through remote regions of the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, and is considered to be the most scenic railway in England. The drama of its history and construction mean that it is regarded as one of the culminating symbols of Victorian enterprise and engineering. The line runs from near the town of Settle, beginning at a junction with the line from Leeds to Morecambe, extending to the city of Carlisle close to the England / Scotland border. On the way the line passes through the town of Appleby-in-Westmorland and a number of small communities. The Pennine Way The Pennine Way is a National Trail in England.

The trail runs 267 miles from Edale, in the northern Derbyshire Peak District, north through the Yorkshire Dales and the Northumberland National Park, to end at Kirk Yetholm, just inside the Scottish border.

The town gained the status of a city when its diocese was formed in 1133, and the priory became Carlisle Cathedral.

The introduction of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution began a process of socioeconomic transformation in Carlisle, which developed into a densely populated mill town. This, combined with its strategic position, allowed for the development of Carlisle as an important railway town, with seven railway companies sharing Carlisle railway station. Nicknamed the Great Border City, Carlisle today is the main cultural, commercial and industrial centre for north Cumbria.

(de) Carlisle est une ville britannique située dans le Cumbria (Angleterre), à 15 km au sud de l’Écosse. Sa population est estimée à 72 400 habitants. Elle a le statut de Cité. Carlisle s'appelait autrefois Carduel, ville citée dans le Tristan et Yseult de Béroul. Or Froissart la nommait encore ainsi en contant l'histoire de Robert Bruce au 14è siècle. Il l'a situait d'ailleurs en Galles (Galloway). Dans le centre ville, la Market Cross s'élève à l'emplacement du forum de la cité romaine de Luguvalium (en). Les quatre siècles de présence romaine furent, pour Carlisle, suivis de cinq siècles de déclin, puis de quatre siècles de différends frontaliers et de guerre entre l'Angleterre et l'Écosse. Ville typique du nord anglais post-industriel, Carlisle doit faire face depuis quelques décennies à de nombreuses difficultés liées à une reconversion douloureuse.

Alcoolisme, hooliganisme, et antisocial behaviours sont les symptômes qui frappent Carlisle et le nord de la Cumbria. Ces problèmes existent également à l'autre côté de la frontière, à Langholm, Dumfries et Hawick, par exemple. Le projet Carlisle Renaissance, lancé en août 2005, a pour but de désenclaver la ville, et faire sortir Carlisle et le nord de la Cumbria de la crise identitaire urbaine post-industrielle dans laquelle elle se trouve. Le centre-ville de Carlisle témoigne du passé médiéval de la ville, de même que la cathédrale et le Tullie House Museum. Mais la ville a également une réputation pré-médiévale, car elle ferme le mur d'Hadrien à l'ouest.

Fait curieux : la ville serait sous l'influence d'une malédiction, lancée au XVIe siècle par Dunbar, l'archevêque de Glasgow, pour punir les résidents de la campagne aux alentours de Carlisle, connus pour être des brigands et des bandits de grand chemin. La polémique est réapparue lorsque, à l’occasion du passage à l’an 2000, un jeune artiste, descendant d’une des familles visées par la malédiction, sculpta une pierre et y inscrivit le texte de cette malédiction. La décision de déplacer en périphérie la pierre initialement prévue pour être au centre ville, suscita de nombreuses discussions, la malédiction étant toujours tenue pour responsable des fléaux qui ont touché la ville ces dernières années (inondation, vache folle).

De oudst bekende bronnen van Carlisle stammen uit de Romeinse tijd, waarin Carlisle reeds een Romeinse nederzetting was, ter ondersteuning van de forten op de Muur van Hadrianus. In de middeleeuwen groeide Carlisle uit tot een belangrijk militair bolwerk dankzij de ligging nabij het Koninkrijk Schotland.

Carlisle Castle, een kasteel dat grotendeels bewaard is gebleven, is in 1092 gebouwd door Willem II van Engeland, bijgenaamd William Rufus. Het kasteel heeft dienst gedaan als gevangenis voor Maria I van Schotland. Tegenwoordig huisvest het kasteel het Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, een infanterieregiment van het Britse leger, en een museum. In het begin van de 12e eeuw gaf Hendrik I van Engeland toestemming een priorij te stichten. In 1122 werd Carlisle een bisdom en groeide de priorij uit tot de kathedraal van Carlisle. De opkomst van de textielindustrie in de Industriële revolutie was het begin van een sociaal-economische transformatie in Carlisle en ging gepaard met een stevige bevolkingsgroei.

Deze groei van de populatie, in combinatie met de strategische ligging, zorgde ervoor dat Carlisle een belangrijke stad werd in het spoornetwerk van Engeland, met op het hoogtepunt zeven spoorwegbedrijven. Tegenwoordig staat Carlisle bekend als Great Border City en is de culturele, commerciële en industriële hoofdstad van Cumbria. Carlisle huisvest de belangrijkste campus van de University of Cumbria en een aantal musea. Daarnaast is Carlisle de thuisbasis van een aantal sportploegen, waaronder voetbalclub Carlisle United FC.

Carlisle, Cumbria Carlisle (See also Carlisle Castle , Carlisle Cathedral , Tuille House Museum ) Carlisle's history is a record of warfare and strife related to its strategic border position that made it a natural catalyst for warring factions of Scotland and England.

But long before their time, at c80AD, the Romans were here, establishing Carlisle as their northernmost settlement. They called their town Luguvalium, and used it as an important supply depot for Hadrian's Wall. A few remains-Roman sewers, a fort, and houses-were found during excavations. By the 5th century the Romans were gone, and the history of the ensuing times is sketchy. Cuthbert, a bishop of Lindisfarne, was here in 685 after King Egdrid rebuilt and fortified the town. Both the Picts and the Vikings raided the area. In 876 the Vikings completely destroyed the town and its people, rendering it inhabitable. The Saxons, when they arrived, shortened the Roman name of the place to Luell, then added Caer, the Saxon word for city to make Caer-Luell, the precursor of Carlisle. For a while the Scots claimed the area, then a Northumbrian noble took charge. It took the Normans to really bring Carlisle back to life when William II (Rufus) reclaimed the area from the Scots in 1092.

He built the castle, while Henry I, in 1122, founded St Mary's Priory (In 1133 it became a cathedral) and arranged for the building of the walls. A length of the surviving wall can be viewed from the gardens below West Walls. There were three gates to the city-no longer surviving. One was known as Caldew and guarded the western entry near the castle. Another, the Ricker, stood sentinel over the bridge across the Eden. (A pleasant walk across the river to the parkland beyond is part of the current attractions.) The third, Botcher, was the southern entrance through the walls to the city. Its 16th century replacement no longer stands, but, in its place, are two 19th century towers, the Citadel. They served as a prison and assize courts. An 1845 statue honours the Earl of Lonsdale, whose efforts made the building possible. In 1135 King David captured Carlisle for Scotland, but Henry II recovered it in 1157 and a year later granted the town its first charter. The town was under siege by the Scots again in 1173, but held fast.

The Scots succeeded in taking Carlisle in 1216, but only held it for a year. They tried again in 1296, but after three days, gave up. Edward I held parliament here in 1298 and 1307 (Robert the Bruce tried unsuccessfully to grab Carlisle for the Scots the same year), dying six months later at Burgh-upon-Sands. The Scots just kept trying to bring Carlisle back to Scotland, but their 1345 attempt was again a failure. They made further unsuccessful tries in 1380, 1385, 1387, and again during the War of the Roses. Their last and short-lived successful attempt was during Bonnie Prince Charlie's abortive attempt for the throne. In 1349-91, the Black Death hit, and plague hit again in 1598. Carlisle held its first official fair, Carel Fair, in 1353. Hiring fairs and a great fair for horses and cattle were held in the autumn. Fairs continued successfully until 1189, when the numbers dwindled to only 50 animals brought for sale.

Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned in Carlisle's castle in 1568, but after two months at Carlisle, she was sent to Bolton Castle in Yorkshire. Carlisle Castle was deemed not secure enough for the prisoner. James I was the next king to visit, in 1617. Civil War in 1644 saw Carlisle become a battlefield once again. It is said that food ran out, and people lived by eating horses, dogs, and other animals. The Parliamentarians won out and captured the Royalist city. The Guildhall Museum is housed in an interesting medieval building. In 1382 a huge fire destroyed much of Carlisle, and the site of a waste tenement was turned into a home in 1407 by Richard of Redeness. When he died he left his home to Carlisle, and it became the Guildhall for the city's trade guilds. Its timber-framed construction is infilled with thin medieval tile bricks. The internal walls are made of interwoven twigs with a covering of clay. Each floor projects out over the one beneath, a way of using less ground to create a larger home.

In 1844 and 1935 repairs were undertaken. Each room in the museum has its own focus representing Carlisle's eight trade guilds: shoemakers, butchers, merchants, skinners and glovers, smiths, tailors, tanners, and weavers. Objects relating to each guild history are on display. The silver room is especially interesting with two 1599 silver bells among its collection. An ironbound muniment chest, medieval measures and pottery, a weaver's banner and stocks are part of the collections. The Town Hall and Council Chamber, built in 1770, at the north end of the market place, has undergone a number of renovations. In front of the building is a 1682 Market Cross topped by a lion and a sundial. 18th century St Cuthbert's Church is the fourth building on the site-originally founded during St Cuthbert's 685 visit, rebuilt in 870, then destroyed by the Danes in 875. It was rebuilt in 1095 by King William II, then survived a fire, but was damaged in a raid by the Scots.

In 1778 the building was replaced by the present one, built in the Georgian style. A 14th century stained glass window survives. An unusual feature is a moveable pulpit mounted on rails. Modern stained glass windows depict the life of St. Cuthbert. In the churchyard are buried Prince Charlie's soldiers. The 15th century Tithe Barn (restored in 1968), now a church hall, was once the dispensary for the city, providing free medical treatment for the poor. St. Mary's Workhouse was built in 1785, for the poor, and St Cuthbert's followed in 1809. In 1745 woollens were manufactured for a few years. Linen making was added in 1750. Cotton manufactory-there were four large spinning mills in Carlisle-brought much needed employment and prosperity. Calico printing started in 1761, and gingham, check and bleaching establishments set up shop. Many old houses were demolished and more substantial ones built in their place. Tanneries, dye works, biscuit and hat making added to the industrial mix.

The railways arrived in the 1830's and were of great importance to Carlisle. The Carlisle Citadel Station, built in 1847, accommodated seven different lines. Today the 72-mile Settle to Carlisle scenic railway is a tourist attraction. Carlisle's Tuille House Museum is one of the best museums in England. It lets the visitor experience Carlisle from pre-history through the Civil War and includes an AV experienceon the Border Reivers. The social and railway history of Cumbria's north, a wildlife section, and contemporary art exhibitions complete the picture. On the grounds is the Old House and Gardens, a Georgian house that was the site of the original museum. Now displayed there are the Gallery of Childhood, paintings, and china. Near to Carlisle are the scenic Eden and Irthing valleys and the North Pennines. Carlisle, at the confluence of the rivers Eden, Caldew, and Petteril has much interesting history to share.
