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.
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.
This is a beautiful train station. It's open, Spacious, bright and modern. Compared to some train stations that could do with modernising, this has a lovely atmosphere.
Love what they have done to this station and it really is a gateway to everywhere: Scotland, the Lakes, the West Coast and if you needed to, over to Newcastle.nnThe roof let's in so much light and the team on the platforms are super helpful.nnThere's a bar on site.nnSuch history, such a beautiful building as you enter and leave Carlisle.
