Enterprise Car Rental Locations in Carlisle

Just 16 km south of the Scottish border and lying on the confluence of rivers Petteril, Eden and Caldew is Carlisle, the county town of Cumbria that is also called the Border City. The proximity of the town to the Kingdom of Scotland is one reason it served well as a Roman settlement in the Middle Ages. Carlisle has since evolved from a mill town to an industrial one, to the commercial hub that it is today. One aspect that remains true all through the changes is the cultural and historical heritage that the town carries. The museums and ruins in Carlisle tell a tale of what the city has been through, and its role in history. You can get more knowledge on the Border City by taking the time to visit the different places of importance. At Enterprise, we aim to make that adventure an easy one with our convenient car rental options. With the right vehicle, you can crisscross through the town, basking in its glory.

Attractions In Carlisle

The right choice of car will give you an opportunity to drive around the countryside and enjoy the distinct traits of this town. The Carlisle Cathedral is a good way to start your exploration as it offers an insight into the history it has witnessed over the 900 years since it was founded by King Henry I as the Carlisle Priory. Take a few shots of the East window as it is the most distinct aspect of the structure, and the gift shop allows you to carry a piece of this history wherever you go. A tour of the Carlisle Castle will offer an equally amazing experience along with Lanercost Priory. Standing next to Hadrian's Wall, this 13-Century church maintains most of its elegance and all of its historical significance. Another way to make your trip more educational is to learn about the lives of the soldiers who sacrificed all for their country at the Cumbria’s Museum of Military Life. Next, consider driving to the southern entrance of the town where the two striking oval towers of the Citadel lie.
