Property in Carlisle

Carlisle is ideally located between Scotland and the Lake District, and both are easily reached by car or train. Situated on the path of Hadrian's Wall, Carlisle is a vibrant, cultured city.

The town is linked to the rest of England via the M6 motorway towards the South, and to Scotland via the M74/A74 towards Glasgow and the North. As well as these routes, many important trunk roads either begin or terminate in Carlisle, including the A6 to Penrith and eventually leading onto Luton, the A595 to western Cumbria, the A69 to Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the A7 to Edinburgh. The City of Carlisle thus bears the distinction of being the only city in Great Britain other than London and Edinburgh with more than one single numbered 'A' road - A6 and A7.

There are several primary schools in Carlisle and four secondary schools within the city of Carlisle and two others in the wider district. The University of Cumbria has a four campuses in Carlisle.

The Discover Carlisle website has lots more information about the area.
