Carlisle is set in Cumbria, 10 miles south of the Scottish Borders. During the Middle Ages, Carlisle became a military stronghold and Carlisle Castle, still relatively intact, was built in 1092 by William Rufus, the castle now houses the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment and the Border Regiment Museum. In the 12th century Henry I allowed the foundation of a priory in Carlisle and the town gained the status of a diocese in 1122, resulting in the priory becoming Carlisle Cathedral. The Settle to Carlisle railway runs across breathtaking scenery and Carlisle Racecourse has a packed fixture list including Ladies’ Day and evening fixtures. Within driving distance is Silloth and just over the border is Gretna Green, where you'll find the Gretna Gateway Shopping Centre and Anvil Hall, the famous wedding venue.
