daleandles Says: Whether you are into miniatures or not, this is an amazing place. The work is superb. Definately not just dolls houses, this is an amazing example of craftsman's art. For four pound entry we had nearly 2 hours of the most amazing fun, the more you looked the more you saw!...
The Pre-Raphaelite collection at Tullie House
ange_famine Says: Tullie House, a museum opposite the Castle, calls for a visit on many, many grounds, but be sure to visit the first floor of the little house if you're a Pre-Raphaelite fan.You'll see a few Rossetti and Burne-Jones paintings, among others, some of those quite rare.For...
clivedinburgh Says: The museum was founded by Carlisle Corporation in 1893 and used the residence of the Tullie family who were a prominant family in Carlisle for generations. A major expansion of the museum took place in the 1990s and now includes a lecture theatre, gallery and...
clivedinburgh Says: The cathedral was founded in 1122 and features a stunning 14th century stained glass window in the East wall.The Prior's Kitchen is located in the undercroft opposite the Cathedral entrance and there is a gallery located above it.
clivedinburgh Says: The castle in Carlisle has been fortified since Roman times but the modern day version began construction under orders of Henry I in the 11th century. With its proximity to the Scottish border the castle has changed hands many times over the years. The castle is maintained...
mvtouring Says: Carlisle Castle is a great medieval fortress that has watched over the City of Carlisle for over nine centuries. Visitors can explore fascinating and ancient chambers, stairways and dungeons and find the legendary 'licking stones'. Here, parched Jacobite prisoners found...

Cranford House Guest House: Good no-frills bed and breakfast in Keswick
f_rank_furt Says: Carol and Kevin Hallgarth gave us a really friendly welcome when we turned up on the doorstep of Cranford House. This is exactly what they say on their website: good solid no-frills (no flowery wallpaper, no doilies and no nasty bedding) bed and breakfast. It is the kind of...
Hall Hills Cottages: East Cumbria's best self-catering cottages
f_rank_furt Says: It takes a little effort to find Hall Hills and you need your own transport, but then this is really off the beaten track and that is all part of the attraction. Above the little bridge you see the red stone buildings that date back to the 17th century and were a farm until...
Cherry Grove: Bed and Breakfast
uglyscot Says: We spent a night on our way to Scotland. We arrived very late but were given rooms which were decent with en suite bathroom, satellite and colour Tv [does anyone have only black and white these days?]. Each room had hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities, and there was...
Very relaxed atmosphere, good service and delicious food. Lots to choose from on the menu.
Favorite Dish: I have tried quite a few different dishes, I enjoyed the Cod Moolee , but my favorite so far is the Lamb Bhuna Gosht Adraki, it wasn't too spicey and the lamb melted in your mouth.

CandS Says: We hired a car and drove around the UK... It was easy for us since we are used to driving on the left side of the road, although the strange road signs had us wondering a few times... :)The roads were all very good except for the traffic jams around the larger cities...try...
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It would be a good idea to have some wet weather gear handy. We had rain basically the whole time we were there (yes, it was November)...
Photo Equipment: A tripod for those nice waterfall photos... :)

CandS Says: This photo was taken while wandering around near a part of Hadrians Wall near Gilsland... It was such a nice area, especially in autumn... :)
CandS Says: This cute little bridge was at the Aira Force waterfall... The waterfall is only just out of Penrith on Ullwater... It's worth a look if you are in the area...it's a really pretty area...
CandS Says: This place is really pretty and worth a visit if you are near by. It is located between Penrith and Keswick (south of Carlisle). There are some hiking trails near by and you can have a good look around the area. The forest around the waterfall is pretty too...
CandS Says: On our way down to Liverpool we drove through the Lakes District...unfortunately the weather wasn't very kind to us so we only got this one photo of Ullswater...
CandS Says: This is Hadrian's Wall near a town called Gilsland... We had a little look around but there wasn't that much to see...
CandS Says: Hadrian's Wall runs (or ran?) almost from Carlisle to Newcastle Upon Tyne. We drove to a part of the wall just outside Carlisle to have a look.
