Learn more about hotels in Carlisle

Carlisle, an unparished area in the ceremonial county of Cumbria, England, is a city steeped in history. Its roots can be traced back to Roman times, where it was a settlement to forts along Hadrian's Wall. This city is home to Carlisle Castle, a significant historical symbol that once served as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots. Gaining cathedral status in 1133, Carlisle became an important military stronghold in the Middle Ages, playing a significant role in border conflicts between Scotland and England.

When to visit Carlisle

The best time to visit Carlisle is from May to October when the weather is usually warm and pleasant, perfect for exploring the architectural marvels and absorbing the rich history. However, these summer months from June to August can be rainy, so a little planning might be necessary. Off-peak seasons from January to February see fewer tourists and could be a good choice for those looking for tranquility. Moreover, hotel prices dip to their lowest in November, offering savvy travellers the chance to enjoy this city’s charm without breaking the bank.
