History, Gardens, Culture
Carlisle Castle is outstanding and there is also Carlisle Cathedral the Citadel and West walls. Nearby there is Hadrian's Wall and the various visitor centres, Lanercost Priory, Tullie House Museum, Guided Tours around Carlisle (via tourist office), Port Carlisle and the old rail embankment. Further afield there is Dalemain Historic House and Gardens, Levens Hall, Threave Gardens (National Trust Scotland), Broughton House and Garden, Nent Head Mines, Alston, Gretna Green, Thomas Carlyles Birthplace, Up Front Gallery, Brougham Castle, Muncaster Castle, Hutton in the forest woodland walk and Acorn Bank Gardens and Water Mill. Edinburgh (100 miles) and Glasgow (120 miles) are also just about manageable in a day.
