On Monday I went to Carlisle Castle. There was quite a lot of things to see at the castle including: some medieval carvings, a military museum, a historical exhibition, dungeons and a rooftop walk.
The castle is built on the site of a roman fort. It has been occupied continuously since it was founded in 1092. During its history it has been the most besieged place in England.
In May 1567 Mary Queen of Scots fled to England and she was brought to Carlisle Castle where she stayed for some weeks.
It is now an English Heritage site and the website link is here:http://www.english-heritage.org.uk
