Shopping near the Tranquil Otter

Carlisle is a great shopping centre and people come from miles around to shop there. Gretna Gateway Factory Shopping Village is well worth a visit for discounted designer gear.

The famous Newcastle Metro Centre (1½ hours), K Village at Kendal and the market towns of Penrith and Cockermouth are also not too far away.

Finally there are numerous markets at Penrith, Silloth and Carlisle Race Course etc (details from tourist information).
