Carlisle’s Rich History

Many of Carlisle’s famous landmarks have a rich history and, upon visiting, provide you with insightful knowledge of the city’s past. Here are a few of the most famous historic spots in Carlisle:

• Carlisle Castle. First built in 1093 and then rebuilt in stone in 1122, the castle is over 900 years old and is the perfect site for learning about the city’s past.
