Port Carlisle

At one time sailing boats could make their way by canal from Port Carlisle to the heart of the city of Carlisle. Boats were towed there, a journey that took about 1 hour 40 minutes, enabling Carlisle to be reached within a day by sea from Liverpool. The canal was later replaced by the Bowness railway, the viaduct for which altered the deep-water channels, causing Port Carlisle to silt up. Although now dismantled, the railway’s old course can still be traced and stretches of it form part of the Cumbrian Cycle Way.
