Houses to rent in Carlisle

Carlisle stands as Cumbria’s only city, acting as both a commercial and cultural hub in the far north of England. Nestled just 10 miles south of the Scottish border, Carlisle’s location has given it a rich and frequently turbulent history. The city is shaped more by its historic significance and border heritage than by modern expansion, making it unique among English cities. The centre is dominated by the imposing Norman castle and a compact medieval streetscape, while residential areas spread into leafy suburbs and new-build estates, appealing to a variety of residents.
