Rickerby Park War Memorial

Rickerby Park is part of a gorgeous stretch of greenspaces along the River Eden, which meanders through the heart of Carlisle. It's a traditional Victorian parkland, which can easily be linked with an amble through Bitts Park and around the Sheepmount's many football fields and athletics track. The Hadrian's Wall Path long-distance trail also runs through the park.

Rickerby Park is a traditional Victorian parkland located on the banks of the River Eden, in the grounds of Rickerby House. Within the park is an impressive War memorial.

In fields just beyond Rickerby Park is an octagonal Victorian folly tower erected by George Head Head, mayor, magistrate, and banker of Carlisle. He owned Rickerby House in the 19th Century, at a time when towers and turrets were in vogue. There are several more towers built into the Rickerby Gardens and Farm buildings.source: visitcumbria.com/car/rickerby-park
