There is not much of a castle to see, just a small army museum.

It was alright. The best part was being able to walk along the top of the castle walls.

A fantastic day out for all ages. The Cumbria Museum of Military Life is always worth a visit.

Becoming a member of English Heritage has the benefit of free entry to many historical places, including Carlisle Castle. The history of Carlisle Castle dates back to Roman times and was later expanded during the reign of William II of England. The castle has a long and fascinating history, with intricate stone work and a military museum inside.

A fantastic place to visit with lots to explore. Excellent views from the castle battlements over Carlisle. Still a working army location, we were even lucky enough to see the local Army Cadets band practicing. A great place to visit with a recommendation.

I attended the evening firework display with another 100,000 people. It was too busy for my liking.

A great place to visit for its warm welcome and rich history. While access to the central area may be challenging for those with limited mobility due to the historic nature of the building, there is still much to discover for those who can navigate the narrow stairs and levels. The military history museum within the castle area is worth a visit, with a cafe offering refreshments and indoor/outdoor seating.

Very interesting. It was great to explore all the staircases and walk around the top wall. Adding a few more plaques explaining the previous use of some rooms would have made it perfect.

Yes, it is definitely worth a visit! I explored some of the castle on a hot day in August and returned yesterday for a more in-depth look. The history here is rich, and the present structure reflects that. I had the opportunity to speak with a guide who provided excellent insights into historical events and the significance of the fortifications and buildings. The Regimental Museum inside the castle is a must-see, with friendly and informative staff.

Not as captivating as other castles I have visited and too expensive, in my opinion.
