Castle Street, Carlisle
Castle Street, Carlisle
The north end of Castle Street opposite Carlisle Castle, at the junction with Finkle Street and Annetwell Street and adjacent to the main entrance of Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery.
The tall capped wood posts are a millennium art installation and together with pavement inscriptions are intended to provide a visual link for pedestrians between the city centre, Carlisle Castle and Bitts Park. Both of the posts visible in this photograph are inscribed Luguvalium, the Roman name for Carlisle.
Note the yellow EWS (emergency water supply) sign dating from the Second World War on the wall to the left of the Castle Hairdressing Room (photograph NY3956 : Emergency Water Supply).
Northbound Cumbria Way walkers nearing the end of the long distance path from Ulverston, who have approached along Annetwell Street turn right here into Castle Street (next photograph NY3956 : Castle Street, Carlisle).
The Cumbria Way

Devised by The Ramblers in the 1970s, The Cumbria Way is a long distance path from Ulverston to Carlisle passing through the heart of the English Lake District. An early example of a long distance path, it has become deservedly popular.
Usually quoted as being 70 miles in length, accurate measurement indicates the route is approximately 119km (74 miles) long, taking into account the various diversions since it was created.
The extremities of The Cumbria Way are conveniently placed for easy access by car or public transport and most walkers will be able to complete the route comfortably within a week. It is most frequently walked from south to north so the prevailing wind (and Cumbrian rain) is behind the walker. The Cumbria Way passes less than 2.5 kilometres from the wettest place in England so rain is often encountered.
