Tales and facts about Carlisle - one of the most fought over cities in Great Britain and one of the largest Forts along Hadrian's Wall.

Romans Reivers and Royalists

The City of Carlisle is unique. Situated on the route of Hadrian's Wall, the ancient defining line between England & Scotland.

Two Forts - One City

The Roman town of Luguvalium (Carlisle) began as an auxiliary fort and military supply base in AD 72.

Beseiged Carlisle

For 500 years, until the 1603 Act of Union, Carlisle Castle was the principal fortress of England’s ‘Western March’ against Scotland.

Bonnie Prince Charlie

The tenth siege of Carlisle's history took place after Bonnie Prince Charlie took Carlisle in the Jacobite Rising of 1745.

The Border Regiment

The Border regiment traces its lineage back to the 34th (Cumberland) Regiment of Foot, which was originally raised in East Anglia in 1702.
