This impressive medieval castle, where Mary, Queen of Scots was once imprisoned, has a long and tortuous history of warfare and family feuds. Explore the maze of passages and chambers and endless staircases leading to lofty towers, or walk the high ramparts and enjoy magnificent views of historic Carlisle and beyond. Guided tours are available. There's a gift shop too.
