About this property
Carlisle ( kar- LYLE , locally KAR -lyle ; from the Cumbric: Caer Luel ) is a city located in the Cumberland district of Cumbria, England. It is the largest settlement and only city in Cumbria. In 2021, it had a population of 77,730. Carlisle was founded as a Roman settlement called Luguvalium to serve forts along Hadrian's Wall, though it may have earlier origins. Nicknamed the 'Great Border City' due to its proximity to Scotland (being located eight miles or thirteen kilometres south of the current Anglo-Scottish border), the city and its castle became an important military stronghold in the Middle Ages.
