Curious About... Carlisle
Explore Carlisle city centre with two self-guided heritage walks with a treasure hunt theme. Discover Carlisle's "hidden treasures" whilst having a fun day out with family and friends!
If you start feeling thirsty in Carlisle, you could always lick a stone. Apparently that's what the Jacobite prisoners in the dark dungeons of the city's castle used to do when they got parched. Carlisle was made a city in 1133, and whilst its cathedral is the 2nd smallest in England, it punches way above its weight.
There’s a castle, theatres, museums, amazing architecture, playful parks, a river, and is known as The Great Border City, due to its proximity with Scotland. In 2012 it was named the happiest city in the UK, and still ranks consistently high.
