Located in the county of Cumbria, you will find the city of Carlisle. It is the largest location in England due to the land area it covers. Established by the Romans from the first century. You’ll find Hadrian’s Wall or what’s left of it still in the area.
Still standing and with a military museum is Carlisle Castle. Located in the far north of North West England. Since it is mostly on flood plains, it is highly vulnerable to flooding from the Eden River.
It is a city that has a large part in the route of the country’s myths and legends. Under attack on several occasions by the famous Scottish couple, Robert the Bruce and William Wallace. Also a place that was attacked several times by the Danes.
