Carlisle Escorts

Carlisle is in the most amazing location on the border between England and Scotland. It has often been involved in tussles as to who it belongs to and retains a very romantic air, with the invisible ghosts of marauding Scots and the infamous Border Reivers still seeming to roam its streets. The castle stands squarely on the edge of the town, seeming to be still ready for action no matter who may come steaming over the border. Despite its often beleaguered position, it is friendly and outgoing with a very open street pattern which leads you naturally from one historic location to another, past some really great shops. Carlisle escorts love the layout of the town.

Carlisle cathedral also looks very strong with an almost fortified appearance. The red stone of the area has been repaired with darker blocks higher on the walls and it has a very workaday look unfamiliar to people more used to the airier tracery of cathedrals such as Ely or Winchester. Carlisle has so much history that it is lucky for the tourists’ feet that everything is within a nice compact historic centre.

Carlisle is by no means all about history, though. It has some enchanting undercover shopping arcades as well as all the major stores. Escorts in Carlisle love the shopping available. It is considered the main shopping destination for the whole of Cumbria and much of Scotland as well, so it is very much worth a visit. Carlisle makes an ideal centre for anyone wishing to walk Hadrian’s Wall – or at least part of it – and has an amazing link with its history. So much of the best of England’s and Scotland’s loveliest countryside is on its doorstep and with many places to eat and drink as well as cinemas and theatres, Carlisle is a really great place to stay.
