Come along on a fascinating guided walk to uncover Carlisle's heritage from Roman times. Carlisle is layered with over 2000 years of history from pre-Roman times to the present day. On this tour, we will discover the rich heritage of this great 'Border City' that was claimed by England and Scotland over centuries. We will wander along the ancient city streets and walls, discover the story behind the ancient Guildhall, consider the peculiarities of the Cathedral, and stumble upon the unexpected at St Cuthbert's Church. Please note this tour starts in Carlisle, and you would have to make your own way to the city.
The walking tour starts outside Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery and covers the following sites of interest: * Old Town Hall, Carel Cross & the Greenmarket * Medieval Guildhall (external view only) * St Cuthbert's Church (internal visit if open on day) * Tithe Barn (internal visit if open on day) * West Walls * Cathedral (exterior only, but features of interest inside will be highlighted) The walk is 0. 75 miles/1. 2 km long and takes place largely within the pedestrianised heart of Carlisle. There are a few roads to cross over with light traffic. The walk is generally on the flat and is suitable for those with mobility problems (access into St Cuthbert's Church is by a short ramp). Dogs are welcome but must be on a lead at all times. Dogs are not allowed into St Cuthbert's and must remain outside during our visit. Refreshments available at the Cathedral Cafe at the end of the tour.
