Car Rental Carlisle

Carlisle is to the very north of England and a good stopping place en route to Scotland or for vacations in the nearby Lake District. The nearest airports for the city are Manchester and Liverpool but visitors may like to get to here before taking the option of a car rental in Carlisle Downtown.

As a location on the main routes north and south Carlisle has excellent rail connections with London and Glasgow. The M6 Motorway runs close by, so there are a number of choices when it comes to getting to Carlisle.

Many who come here are planning to spend some time touring the local mountains and for this a car rental in Carlisle Downtown is pretty well vital. Public transport in the region is sparse and finishes quite early. Carlisle is a traditional market town but its real strength is its position almost on the borders with Scotland.

It also has a good connecting route across country to the east and the cities of Newcastle and Leeds. Locally the place to head for in the cheap car rental in Carlisle Downtown is the Lake District. This small compact set of mountains and lakes is one of the top tourist spots in England. The district has the ability to absorb large numbers of visitors into its villages without it ever appearing busy.

The main town is Ambleside which sits on the lakeside shores of Lake Windermere. Another beautiful spot is Grasmere and this was the place eulogized by William Wordsworth in his poems. The poet lived in Dove Cottage in Grasmere where there is now a small museum and visitor centre.
