A little more information on Carlisle

Carlisle, often known as the Border City, is located in the county of Cumbria and is only 10 miles south of the Scottish Borders. The town was founded during Roman times to support the forts along Hadrian's Wall, which extends east from the city across the nation to Wallsend on the east coast and is now considered a World Heritage Site. Due to its closeness to the Kingdom of Scotland during the Middle Ages, Carlisle developed into a significant military stronghold. William Rufus constructed the still-relatively-intact Carlisle Castle in 1092 after it had previously been used as a jail for Mary, Queen of Scots. The Border Regiment Museum and the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment are currently housed at the castle. When Carlisle became a diocese in 1122, Henry I permitted the establishment of a priory there in the early 12th century. As a result, the priory became Carlisle Cathedral. The popular Yorkshire town of Carlisle is reached by the Settle to Carlisle train, which travels through some of the most breathtaking landscapes. Carlisle Racecourse has a full schedule of events, including Ladies' Day and nighttime fixtures. The Victorian seaside hamlet of Silloth is accessible by car, while Gretna Green, home to the Gretna Gateway Shopping Center and the renowned wedding venue Anvil Hall, is located just across the border.
