Looking for Man and Van Hire in Carlisle?

Carlisle, urban area (from 2011 built-up area) and city (district), administrative county of Cumbria, historic county of Cumberland, northwestern England, on the Scottish border.

In the Roman period a civilian settlement, Luguvallium (later the town of Carlisle), grew up on the south bank of the Eden, opposite Petriana (later Stanwix), a fortified camp on the line of Hadrian’s Wall. The town dominated the surrounding area and in 685 became part of the see of Lindisfarne. It was destroyed by Norse invaders about 875 and was restored when claimed from the Scots by the Norman-English king William II (William Rufus) in 1092. He initiated the building of a castle and walls.

The cathedral was originally the church of the Augustinian priory (founded 1093), but much of this building was destroyed by fire in 1292 and 1392. Only part of the Norman nave remains. The Decorated-style east window contains mid-14th-century glass, and the tower was added in 1401. Other notable buildings include the town hall (1717) and 14th-century guildhall. Of the castle remains, the most important are the central Norman keep, the 14th-century main gate, and Queen Mary’s Tower. There are colleges of art and technology, and Tullie House (1689) houses the city’s museum and art gallery. The racecourse is one of the oldest in England.
