You did it.

Two miles. Six stops. Two thousand years of Carlisle's history. You've seen the hill where cannons fired during the Jacobite Rebellion, walked the route of a vanished canal, and stood where a Roman fort once guarded the edge of an empire. Not many people can say that.

Did you catch all of these?

Six surprising things hidden across the trail. Tap each one to reveal.

Something to think about

Thank you, Tullie

This trail would not exist without the generosity and expertise of Tullie Museum. The team gave Year 6 access to their archives, introduced us to the historians and experts we interviewed, provided photographs from their collections, and gave us the confidence to tell Carlisle's story ourselves. We are very grateful.

If you've enjoyed the trail, please visit Tullie to discover even more — from Roman armour to Victorian paintings, Tudor costumes to natural history galleries. There is always more to find.
