Really historic railway station at he edge of border between England and Scotland. Restored well with lots of original features around the station. There is not much in station to ear or drink but plenty of places outside of station to eat or drink.nFrom Carlisle plenty of major companies are serving for most of the main cities of UK. The surrounding area is full of history and majestic scenery such as Hadrian Wall to Lake District. While you travel from here to Leeds, that track is worth a break of journey because of nature beauty all around.
Carlisle is a cathedral city in the ceremonial county of Cumbria in England. It is the administrative centre of Cumberland Council which covers an area similar to the historic county of Cumberland.nnCarlisle's early history is marked by the establishment of a human settlement to serve castles along Hadrian's Wall in Britain. Due to its proximity to Scotland being located eight miles or thirteen kilometres south of the current Anglo-Scottish border, Carlisle Castle and the city became an important military stronghold in the Middle Ages. The castle served as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots in 1568 and currently hosts the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment and the Border Regiment Museum. In the early 12th century, a priory was built and gained cathedral status with a diocese in 1133 city status at the time meant the settlement became a city while the county of Cumberland was created and later renamed Cumbria.nnIn the 19th century, the introduction of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution began a process of socioeconomic transformation in Carlisle, which developed into a densely populated mill town. This, combined with its strategic position, allowed for the development of Carlisle as an important railway town, with seven railway companies sharing Carlisle railway station. Nicknamed the 'Great Border City', Carlisle today is a main cultural, commercial and industrial centre within the British borders.
A pretty station along the West Coast of Britain is the train station of Carlisle. A historic station linking the west of Great Britain with the East. Mainly following the route of the old Hadrian's wall with slight deviations this scenic route offers views of the countryside and of the River Tyne.
The station had interesting architecture. The Pumpkin cafe was closed for refreshment but there was a coffee stall near the entrance and a chain cafe is a short walk away.nnThe station is convenient for the centre of Carlisle.
Nice, small city. Everything is central and reasonably priced. Cathedral is lovely, museum interesting, tourist information helpful, castle has some interesting parts, a good number of independent shops still and also within easy reach of Roman remains and Hadrian's Wall. Well worth a visit.
