Online Dating in Cumbria

Perched between the border of England and Scotland, Carlisle has had a somewhat turbulent past; discarded or plundered by Vikings, Scots and also the Border Reivers there is still evidence of this hardship around the town. The red sandstone buildings mimic that of the castle in the centre which give an almost romantic feel to Cumbria’s capital city and the Citadel in the centre gives the city a contemporary feel. Whether you choose to stay around the city for arts and shopping or venture into the parks and find your way out to historic Hadrian’s Wall, dating in Carlisle is both romantic and adventurous.

2. Hadrian’s Wall

One of the UK’s most important historical sites, and an impressive setting to behold, Hadrian’s Wall is easy to access from Carlisle. There is 73 miles of stone wall interspersed with forts, milecastles and turrets to be discovered and you can choose to walk along the National Trail or hire bikes to cycle the length of the route. A bus leaves Carlisle (outside the Citadel) from April to October and you can take bikes on the bus if you so wish. Birdoswald Roman Fort is one of the best-preserved sites on the route and as well as a fascinating visitor centre, the fort offers sumptuous cakes and hot drinks to warm up after a brisk walk.

3. Carlisle Castle

History buffs will love a trip to the red-brick castle in the north of Carlisle. A fairly illustrious list of residents has passed through in its time, including Mary Queen of Scott, imprisoned here in 1568 and the Royalist garrison also made it their base during the English civil war of 1568. On a visit you can stroll through the ground sand visit the dungeon to see the infamous ‘licking stones’ which kept Jacobite prisoners alive back in the day (they used to lick the stones for much-needed moisture.)
