Carlisle is the county town of Cumbria in northwest England, a border city ten miles from Scotland that began as a Roman fort at the western end of Hadrian's Wall, with the Lake District on its doorstep. Visit Carlisle Castle and the cathedral, then head south for Bassenthwaite Lake, Buttermere Valley and Crummock Water, Wastwater, England's deepest lake, Coniston Water and Tarn Hows, and Muncaster Castle near the coast.
