Short Bluebell Path

Highlight • Trail

Short wooded area and in this time of year full of bluebells and in morning sun peaking on flowers looks beautiful. Little gem worth a walk through in the morning 🌄

Carlisle Cathedral was founded as an Augustinian priory in 1122 and became a cathedral in 1133. Whilst Carlisle is the second smallest of England's ancient cathedrals, it is not short on attractions. With old stone carvings, medieval choir stalls, and some beautiful stained glass windows, there is lots to take in whilst exploring this atmospheric place.

Carlisle Market Cross

Highlight • Monument

Reflect on the vibrant heart of Carlisle and discover the Carlisle Market Cross, a historic jewel in the square off Scotch Street. This imposing sandstone column, erected in 1682, marks the old market center and once stood on the ancient Roman forum of the city of Luguvalium.
At the top is a lion with its mouth open, facing north toward Scotland—a symbolic guardian animal protecting the city charter. Around it are four sundials, a nod to time and the past. The ornaments, gilded with gold leaf, give the whole a regal flair.
During the 2009 restoration, the lion's head was replaced with a replica in red sandstone, and the monument was completely refurbished with the help of heritage specialists.
The Market Cross is the place where Bonnie Prince Charlie proclaimed his father king in 1745.

Take Flight Mural, Lowther Arcade

Highlight • Monument

The "Take Flight" mural in Lowther Arcade, Carlisle, depicts a flock of geese in flight, symbolizing movement and renewal. Street artist Woskerski's work brings color and energy to the historic arcade and is part of a broader urban renewal project, giving heritage a fresh, contemporary feel.

Carlisle Citadel and Gardens

Highlight • Monument

The two oval towers are an impressive sight to see when departing Carlisle railway station. This area is part of a multi-million pound redevelopment deal for the city of Carlisle.

Old Cherry Blossom Tree

Highlight • Natural

Church next to this cherry tree was build in 1828 and I would like to believe that the 2 trees were planted in that time. Unfortunately one "died" few years ago. Magnificent when in bloom and worth seeing 🍒
