Manchester to Carlisle

Head north from Manchester to visit the edge of the Roman Empire in the Great Border City of Carlisle. These outings focus on the 900-year-old red sandstone Carlisle Castle and the nearby fragments of Hadrian's Wall, where the history of Anglo-Scottish conflict is etched into every stone. You might also choose to see the Carlisle Cathedral's famous starry ceiling or browse the local markets, knowing that your cross-country transportation is fully arranged from start to finish. In short, day trips here make for straightforward ways to see the border between Scotland and England, and return to the city by evening.
