    Carlisle Castle was first built during the reign of William II out England, the son of William the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066. At that time, Cumberland (the original name for north and west Cumbria) was still considered a part of Scotland. William II ordered the construction of a Norman style motte and bailey castle in Carlisle on the site of the old Roman fort of Luguvalium, dated by dendrochronology to 72AD

        Standing proud in the city it has dominated for nine centuries, Carlisle Castle remained a working fortress until well within living memory.
