Carlisle, often referred to as the Border City, is located between the Lake District and Scotland, and is easily accessible by train or car. Being the only city in the Cumbria County, Carlisle is the hub for shopping, arts and entertainment both for the northern part of the county and the western border area of Scotland.
The area was chosen by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as the northern border of the Roman Empire in the year 120 AD. He instructed his troops to construct a wall between the eastern coast (the place now known as Wallsend) and here so as to deny the tribes access to the north. Castles were also built alongside the wall, and Carlisle developed as a township serving these castles. After the Romans left, the area was taken over by the Saxons, who were frequently fought over by the Scots and Danes with the Scots ultimately surrendering it to the Normans.
Today, Carlisle is popular not only because of its rich heritage but also for being a modern industrial and commercial centre, according to Vernon Pethard, Managing Director of www.newhomesforsale.co.uk, Britain's leading new homes property website. The city lies at the centre of a range of modern and historic attractions. From Roman stronghold to Norman hub, medieval market town to modern city, Carlisle offers an array of attractions and activities to enjoy, including art galleries, museums, sporting events, indoor and outdoor recreation, beautiful parks, heritage tours and peaceful open spaces.
