Dining Out and Other Attractions
Dining Out
There at least 10 hostelries within a 4-mile radius of the cottage from restaurants to pubs. Each has its individual character and there is something for all tastes at reasonable prices.
We are spoiled for choice with the excellent local cuisine.
Other Attractions
Carlisle offers great shopping with cafe bars, restaurants and still functional historical buildings such as the Castle, the Cathedral and the Citadel.
