The Travel Lodge, Carlisle hotel is located close to the city center so you are within easy distant of enjoying what nightlife and shopping this city has to offer.  But along with the city itself, there are plenty of other attractions that are worth considering visiting when staying here. 

One of the biggest attractions that is extremely popular with visitors who choose to visit this city is Carlisle Castle.  It is situated at the Western end of the city and has stood overlooking it for more than 900 years now.  Those who wish to learn more about Carlisle's turbulent history then a visit to the castle is something that they should include in their itinerary. 

Once you have paid to enter its gates you can spend time exploring the chambers, dungeons and its stairways.  Not forgetting to take time out during your explorations to visit the "Licking Stones".  It is here the Jacobite prisoners would lick the moisture of them in order that they could stay alive whilst held in the castle. 

Another must for those visiting this ancient city is the Guildhall Museum that is located in the very heart of the city and only a short distance from your hotel.  Not only is it one of the oldest surviving buildings in Carlisle but also it costs nothing for you to wander around viewing everything on show, as admission is free.  However, access to it is only available during the months of April through to October each year.
