Carlisle, Hadrian's Wall & Borderlands
Carlisle and the Borderlands is probably the region within Cumbria most steeped in history. Carlisle is, and always has been, the administrative centre for Cumbria. Being the only city within the county and taking it’s geographical location into account go some way to explaining the turbulent history of the city and its inhabitants and the need for such an imposing gateway.
The city centre is compact in relation to other cities which means the journey to the major attractions like the cathedral can be taken on foot. The history of this part of Cumbria cannot be researched without mention of such places as Hadrian's Wall and Lanercost Priory.
