Carlisle Legends: Ghosts, Secret Tunnels, and The Cursing Stone
Manage episode 429775125 series 3340847
Carlisle began life as Luguvalium, a Roman settlement that grew out of the fort on the site. It was the capital of an ancient British kingdom. Both Vikings and Saxons captured the city.
Over time, it took on strategic importance for its location near the Scottish border. But with so many clashes between the Scots and the English, not to mention the tensions caused by the Border Reivers, it's safe to say Carlisle has a tumultuous history.
And where you have history, you have legends! Let's find out more in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
