Carlisle - A History & Celebration
Cumbria by open expanses of moss and marsh. Only the narrow Eden Valley offers an opening, running south-east to Stainmoor and lowland England. From their sources on the high land, the numerous rivers run across this landscape and make their winding ways toward the coast. Carlisle marks the place where three of these rivers meet - the Peveril, the Caldew and, most importantly, the Eden; a point that is also marked... [more]
