The largest city in England by area, Carlisle lies in the far northern corner of England, near the Scottish border, and is the urban capital of Cumbria and the beating heart of the Borderlands.
In 1092 William II built a timber fortress at Carlisle to control the tumultuous border region. William's timber castle was erected over a section of the old Roman fort and used a natural slope of the land as a defence to the north, and a deep ditch to provide protection to the south.
The castle is managed by English Heritage and is open to the public.
