Carlisle and its surrounding area has had a troubled past over the ages, being involved in a tussle between Scottish and English ownership. The area also lays claim to including a part of Hadrians Wall which ran right through the heart of Carlisle itself. The untamed area of the Pennines, where Hadrian's Wall continues on its journey east, offers spectacular views where you can imagine yourself to be a Roman soldier battling against the unforgiving weather. Mary Queen of Scots spent some of her imprisonment in Carlisle Castle. Legend has it that even King Arthur spent some time at the castle. Although Carlisle is the central part of the area, being the county town of Cumbria, it also encompasses the more outlying market towns of Brampton, Longtown and rural villages stretching as far east and north as the Northumbrian and Scottish borders.
