Carlisle Castle
Standing proudly in the city it has dominated for nine
centuries, Carlisle Castle was a constantly updated working
fortress until well within living memory. Now its rich and
varied visitor attractions reflect its long and eventful
history. Even before the medieval castle was begun, this
site was an important Roman fortress. Today, the castle still
plays a prominent role in Cumbria as one of its best-loved
landmarks.

Arbeia Roman Fort
Built around AD160, Arbeia Roman Fort once guarded the
entrance to the River Tyne, playing an essential role in the
mighty frontier system. Based four miles east of the end of
Hadrian’s Wall at South Shields, the Fort was originally built to
house a garrison and soon became the military supply base
for the 17 Forts along the Wall.
