Audio guide15 stops

Beneath the ancient skyline of Carlisle, hidden stories linger in every red-brick shadow and echo off cathedral spires. This self-guided audio tour turns your walk through Caldewgate into a vivid adventure, unwrapping secrets and scandals most travelers never glimpse. What was the spark behind dramatic student protests at St Martin’s College that drew MPs to the streets? Which forgotten rituals once unfolded under the blue clock tower of Our Lady and St Joseph’s Church? Why did hospital corridors here see both heartbreak and hope before transforming into university lecture halls? Stride from military barracks to sacred towers, across academic battlegrounds and spiritual refuges. Each step reveals layers of rebellion, reinvention, and unlikely heroes who forever shaped Carlisle’s heart. Ready to discover the hidden city where history marches beside you and every stone tells a tale? Press play and let Carlisle unveil its secrets.
