Explore

  1. Carlisle
    Carlisle
    Explore the formidable fortress of Carlisle castle or one of the city’s museums. Relax in pavement cafes, enjoy one of the many restaurants, take in a show or visit a nightclub.
  2. Brampton town centre

  3. Wigton Market Cross
    Wigton
    The historic market town of Wigton lies to the southwest of Carlisle, not far from the Lake District; and is well worth exploring.
  4. Bowness-on-Solway
    On the Cumbrian coast, the village of Bowness-on-Solway marks one end of the Hadrian’s Wall Path. It also boasts breath taking sunsets and a variety of wildlife.
