Carlisle

The historic city of Carlisle is located in the North West of England, its centre is about 10 miles (16 km) south of the Scottish border. It’s the only city and largest settlement in the county of Cumbria, serving as both the county’s main administrative centre and capital.

Archaeological evidence suggests that Carlisle was an established settlement well before the first-century Roman invasion of England. The Romans founded a settlement at Carlisle (Luguvalium) around 72 AD, largely to serve as a supply base for the forts on Hadrian’s Wall. During the Middle Ages, mainly due to its proximity to Scotland, Carlisle became a critical military stronghold. At the time of the Norman conquest in 1066, Carlisle was part of Scotland.

Dubbed the ‘Great Border City’, Carlisle today is the main cultural, commercial and industrial centre for north Cumbria. It’s home to the main campuses of the University of Cumbria, the award-winning Tullie House museum, a number of heritage centres and other places of historical interest.
