Just a stone's throw from Carlisle's city centre is Bitts Park, a lovely place for a stroll alongside the River Eden. Located behind the historic castle, Bitts park boasts curated gardens, a cafe and many leisure amenities.

When combined with the Sheepmount playing fields to the west and Rickerby Park to the east, you could amble for hours alongside the Eden's peaceful banks.
