Carlisle Castle
Standing proudly in the city it has dominated for nine centuries, Carlisle Castle was a constantly updated working fortress until well within living memory. Now its rich and varied visitor attractions reflect its long and eventful history. Even before the medieval castle was begun, this site was an important Roman fortress.


Today, the castle still plays a prominent role in Cumbria as one of its best-loved landmarks. With a new exhibition, a programme of guided tours, a picnic area, a unique gift shop and being so close to Hadrian's Wall, the castle makes for a full family day out.


Carlisle Castle is open every weekend this winter from November 2012-March 2013. The Cumbria Military Museum inside the castle is open to visitors every day.
