The historical city of Carlisle is only ten miles away from the Scottish border. It’s reachable by car via the M6 motorway which passes the outskirts of the city. There is also a direct train service as well as many convenient cheap hotels close to the train station. The railway is located in the heart of the city centre, not too far away from Cumberland Infirmary hospital where you can also find affordable b&b’s.
Carlisle is around a twenty minute drive on the M6 motorway from the Lake District and a thirty minute railway journey to Northumberland National Park. The city’s 900 year old medieval castle dominates the skyline and is a reminder of past conflicts between England and Scotland. Today of course, it is a major tourist attraction.
