Carlisle is Cumbria's main shopping and commercial centre and Citadel Estates' properties are within easy reach of all that it has to offer. There are a wide selection of many good restaurants and pubs together with many cultural attractions, including Tullie House Art Gallery and Museum, and the Sands Centre (which is host to many classical and popular concerts as well as other theatrical events).

Carlisle also has many historical sites including the Prior's Tower which is next to the Cathedral and houses a small exhibition in the pele tower and Carlisle Castle, a great medieval fortress which is also home to the Border Regiment Museum.

Not only is Carlisle a great choice for its entertainment opportunities but it is also an ideal location for easy access to the beautiful Lake District National Park as well as for travelling to Scotland and the rest of England.
