Carlisle Cathedral
Beautiful church. Its beautiful Inside the church, with a stunning architecture. You get a pocket guide which explains everything about the church. It is not open for visit on Sundays but you can enter for free on all other days. There are many stained glass windows with murals. The altar and the woodworks within the altar is stunning. The ceiling seems to be newly painted with stars in blue background which was really cool to look at. Organ pipes were stacked in the walls outside a hidden chamber and the guide explained that they will be played only during service.Over all stunning and peaceful place.

A beautiful cathedral with a long history dating back to the 1100s. The stained glass windows here and the treasury are particularly beautiful and interesting. Free entry.

Wonderful cathedral, a must visit if in Carlisle. Quite dark inside but it was off-peak times and during the day so understandable. Very helpful members of staff around the building to answer any questions.

Carlisle Cathedral set in the City centre of Carlisle is stunning. It gives you a sense of peace just walking through the beautiful grounds.The ceiling has to be seen it is I think the most stunning church/cathedral ceiling I have seen. The beautiful blue and gold then the amazing window below. A real art work.Then if you choose there is the Fratery to go and have something to eat or drink in. And on a sunny day there's a lovely area to sit outside and eat.If you are visiting Carlisle this is a visit you shouldn't miss.

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.
okay, this is epic

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!

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
