Waffle Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm stuck in Carlisle on Business but have the next couple days off. What's there to do here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteHorseRam Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Here's a few ideas from their website ... The historic town of Carlisle is noted for its restored architecture and tree-lined streets–once walked on by George Washington, Molly Pitcher and other icons of early America. If history is your passion, this town offers landmarks, museums, a retro movie and performing arts theatre, and a Civil War augmented reality walking tour that allows you to use your smartphone or tablet to see history with new eyes!

Tony Le Mesmer Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Carlisle is a decent enough town. It has a very interesting museum and information about the Border Reivers as well as a castle which is excellent and also some decent shopping and pubs. There is a small town not far called Brampton which is very quaint and has some excellent pubs. There are some excellent walks also by the River Eden which backs onto the football ground. Other than that you could just sit in your hotel room, eat pasties and get hammered? Seriously though, it's a lovely part of the world and if you can get further afield there is some beautiful scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have many regrets in life. But this was not one of them. thank you for all your suggestions. Carlisle is surprisingly nice and I've spent most of my time walking. I also caught the train to Gretna, which is one of the most boring places I've ever visited other than the whisky shop at the Blacksmiths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
