An aerial look at Carlisle Castle - the hard edge of a frontier town that’s spent centuries facing north. What I love is that it still feels like a place with a job. Even from above you can read the purpose in it - a fortress built for real trouble, still standing right where the border story happens. #NorthernPerspectives #CarlisleCastle #Carlisle #Cumbria #BorderHistory #NormanCastle #EnglishHeritage #fblifestyle | Northern Perspectives

It was first built in the mid-14th century and the tracery of the window still contains much of its original medieval glass, although the lower part of the window dates to the mid-19th century. | International Man of History | Facebook
