| The mighty fortress that is Carlisle Castle has watched over the city of Carlisle for 900 years. Situated at the western end of the of the Anglo-Scottish border, Carlisle has witnessed many turbulent conflicts and sieges. Visitors to the castle can explore fascinating and ancient chambers, stairways and dungeons and find the legendary ’licking stones’, which parched Jacobite prisoners desperately licked for moisture in order to stay alive. |
