Carlisle is a city and the county town of Cumbria. Historically in Cumberland, it is also the administrative centre of the City of Carlisle district in North West England. Carlisle is located at the confluence of the rivers Eden, Caldew and Petteril, 10 miles (16 km) south of the Scottish border. It is the largest settlement in the county of Cumbria, and serves as the administrative centre for both Carlisle City Council and Cumbria County Council. At the time of the 2001 census, the population of Carlisle was 71,773, with 100,734 living in the wider city. Ten years later, at the 2011 census, the city's population had risen to 75,306, with 107,524 in the wider city.
The early history of Carlisle is marked by its status as a Roman settlement, established to serve the forts on Hadrian's Wall. During the Middle Ages, because of its proximity to the Kingdom of Scotland, Carlisle became an important military stronghold; Carlisle Castle, still relatively intact, was built in 1092 by William Rufus, and once served as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots. The castle now houses the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment and the Border Regiment Museum. In the early 12th century, Henry I allowed the foundation of a priory in Carlisle. The town gained the status of a city when its diocese was formed in 1133, and the priory became Carlisle Cathedral.
The introduction of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution began a process of socioeconomic transformation in Carlisle, which developed into a densely populated mill town. This, combined with its strategic position, allowed for the development of Carlisle as an important railway town, with seven railway companies sharing Carlisle railway station.
Nicknamed the Great Border City, Carlisle today is the main cultural, commercial and industrial centre for north Cumbria. It is home to the main campuses of the University of Cumbria and a variety of museums and heritage centres. The former County Borough of Carlisle had held city status until the Local Government Act 1972 was enacted in 1974.
Trip to Carlisle Castle
1st day of my trip to North England and the borders. I decided to go to Carlisle Castle i had a great tin even though the weather was against me.
Standing proud in the city it has dominated for nine centuries, Carlisle Castle remained a working fortress until well within living memory. It has withstood many sieges, held captive a royal prisoner, and been home to the King's Own Royal Border Regiment.

Poppies: Weeping Window at Carlisle Castle
Poppies: Weeping Window is a cascade comprising several thousand handmade ceramic poppies.
Carlisle Castle, which has military connections dating back to the eleventh century, is cared for and open to visitors by English Heritage and home to Cumbria’s Museum of Military Life. Weeping Window flows from the top of the keep, arching over the inner ward wall and cascading down into the outer ward, enabling visitors to view the sculpture from below for the first time.
During the First World War, Carlisle Castle provided an HQ for the Volunteer Training Corps, accommodation for the Labour Corps. It was HQ for the King’s Own Royal Border Regiment from 1873 to 1959. A total of 23,000 recruits passed through the castle during the First World War, with the war costing the Border Regiment nearly 7,000 lives. The Regiment saw action in almost every theatre of war: France, Flanders, India, Burma and Gallipoli, Italy, Mesopotamia and Macedonia. Many Battle Honours were awarded to the Regiment, including five Victoria Crosses.

This Day In 1918 at Carlisle Castle
On Saturday, 10th November, 2018, 100 years after the declaration of the Armistice that saw the end of the Great War, a group of volunteers took Carlisle Castle back in time to the day before the guns fell silent. This short film by students from The University of Cumbria gives a flavour of that event, which was attended by over 6,000 visitors.
My thanks go to Rachel Owen, Charlie Spooner and the video team for putting together this record of the day. My very grateful thanks also to all the volunteers, partners, sponsors and suppliers who enabled This Day in 1918 to take place.
Carlisle 2000 Year City
As seen on Border Television.
Only two British cities have endured for 2000 years -- London and Carlisle. London celebrates its history in continuing power and prestige. Carlisle, on other hand, is often thought of as a
quaint northern frontier town that went to sleep sometime shortly after the Border Wars. But now the writer and historian Alistair Moffat brings Carlisle's forgotten history to life. A City of Gods and Kings, War and Trade. It's a fascinating study of a City that for two millennia has stood at the crossroads of history.
