Why Take a Train to Carlisle?

It has a magnificent castle founded in 1092 by William the Conqueror's son and is a delight for visitors as you discover how Bonnie Prince Charlie captured it, the licking stones and prisoners carvings.  As you wander round the rest of the city you will see that parts of the city were built using stones from Hadrian's Wall.
