Carlisle for over nine centuries. Visitors can explore fascinating and ancient chambers,
stairways and dungeons and find the legendary 'licking stones'. Here, parched Jacobite
prisoners found enough moisture to stay alive, only to be brutally executed on Gallows
Hill. Uncover a fascinating history through lively exhibitions, offering an insight into
William Rufus, Mary Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie.  ou
may take a guided tour of the Castle. There is a gift shop with a range of souvenirs with
a medieval theme.
