The neighbourhood

Carlisle is compact enough to explore and enjoy on foot. The cathedral, the castle, Tullie Museum and Hadrian’s Wall Path are close by. Bitts Park and Rickerby Park give you leafy walks without leaving the city. Brunton Park is a little further down the road if you’re here for a match.

Restaurants and bars are on your doorstep, but the apartments sit far enough back that evenings stay quiet. The Lake District fells and the Scottish Borders are within easy reach – by driving or public transport – when you want a bigger day out.
