Waiting for the train at Hexham Station - and just time for a quick look around Carlisle this afternoon
The market square in Carlisle
Carlisle Castle - the 12th century keep
The main gate to the castle
Always a good idea
Royalty visiting today
The outer ward
The inner ward and keep, with some 19th century additions
Looking back out at the outer gatehouse and outer ward
Originally part of a medieval building
On the walkway outside the keep
Carvings on the second floor of the keep - thought to be late 15th century, possible done by members of the garrison
Storage rooms, well and dungeons on the ground floor of the keep
Carlisle Cathedral
Cathedral Lodge - now an antique store
Part of the Priory originally attached to the Cathedral
The Fratry (refectory)
Other buildings in the Cathedral precinct - a beautiful, quiet area away from the noise and traffic
Gatehouse into the Cathedral precinct
On to Grasmere tomorrow morning
