Carlisle Castle

Standing strongly in the city it has dominated for nine centuries, Carlisle Castle was a constantly updated working fortress until well within living memory. Now its rich and varied visitor attractions reflect its long and eventful history. Even before the medieval castle was begun, this site was an important Roman fortress.

Today, the castle still plays a prominent role in Cumbria as one of its best loved landmarks. With Border Reivers tours, the picnic area, a unique gift shop and being so close to Hadrian's Wall, the castle makes for a full family day out.

The Cumbria Military Museum situated inside the castle's inner ward is open to visitors and is included in the Castle's admission price. Carlisle Castle is currently open weekends during the winter and then daily from 1 April. The Military Museum is open daily throughout the year.
