Carlisle Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Carlisle Cathedral, founded in 1122 as an Augustinian priory and elevated to cathedral status in 1133, is one of England's oldest and smallest cathedrals. The building combines Norman and Gothic architecture, with its striking east window—the largest example of Flowing Decorated Gothic in the country. Inside, you'll find medieval choir stalls with misericords, a 14th-century star-studded ceiling, and a chapel for the Border Regiment.

Built in red sandstone, the cathedral also houses a phratry (refectory) dating from around 1500, a Prior's Tower with a painted ceiling, and a gatehouse dating from 1527. Despite damage during the English Civil War and restorations in the 19th century, Carlisle Cathedral remains a spiritual and cultural center.

End of Hadrian's Wall Path, Bowness-on-Solway

Highlight • Trail

Here you are at the Path Pavilion, the symbolic start or end of the walking route and therefore a popular photo spot. It offers breathtaking views of the Solway Firth. The small wooden pavilion is open on both sides and houses a guest book in which hikers share their experiences. The pavilion has a starter side with the encouragement: "Good luck go with you" and a finish side: "Welcome the end of Hadrian's Wall Path."

Burgh Marsh

Highlight • Cycleway

Burgh Marsh is a vast salt marsh on the Solway Firth, where nature, history, and mystery converge. Located near Burgh by Sands, the area forms a key part of the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. King Edward I died here in 1307 during his campaign against Scotland, an event marked by a monument in the middle of the marsh. Bordering the western section of Hadrian's Wall, Burgh Marsh also bears traces of the Roman presence. Today, Burgh Marsh stands as a silent witness to centuries of frontier history, with a landscape that invites reflection and exploration.

In either direction it’s a nice flat blast along the Solway coast until your battling into a headwind.

Statue of Edward I

Highlight • Monument

Edward I died of dysentery whilst camping on nearby Burgh Marsh in July 1307. He had gathered his men to cross into Scotland and deal with the rebellion of Robert the Bruce.

The statue was unveiled by the Duke of Kent in 2007 and stands proud in the village by the roadside and the playing fields.
