Carlisle Cathedral

Free to visit. Very welcoming. Beautiful stained glass windows. Wonderful ceiling full of stars. Lovely Cafe. Go and visit if you can.

Breathtakingly beautiful inside. Stained glass is wonderful, and the wood carvings in the choir are just incredible. There are some interesting panels depicting the lives of various saints scattered around the cathedral, so be sure to take in all the details before leaving. If you're visiting the city this is a must-see!

An attractive cathedral with a stunning interior, situated in well kept grounds. Highlights include the beautiful starlight ceiling, magnificent stained glass east window and medieval painted panels. The helpful staff are happy to answer questions, or provide information sheets to guide you around the cathedral. The treasury exhibition is highly informative and houses an impressive collection of artefacts. Accessibility is very good and there's no charge to visit, but donations are welcomed to help maintain the cathedral. The grounds are well worth a look, with ruins of the Augustinian priory. There's also a well staffed café on site serving lunch and refreshments. The cathedral is open between 07:30 and 18:30 Monday to Friday, and until 17:00 on weekends.

Beautiful. I was lucky enough to be there when there was an organist playing. It was breathtaking. The star ceiling is unbelievable, so pretty. There are deckchairs to sit in and marvel at the stars. The staff are lovely and helpful. Not a massive building, but it's absolutely beautiful

Great little cathedral. It was beautiful, and enough to see but not overwhelming like some some other, larger cathedrals. The staff were very friendly and they have a nice laminated guide to point out key things to see in the church with a quick description. Worth checking out
