Why Invest in Carlisle?

Carlisle, located in Cumbria's English Borders, is a mere 13 miles from Scotland, earning its nickname as the "Great Border City." While it is one of England's smaller cities, with a population of around 108,400, its reach extends to approximately 500,000 people in the surrounding area.

Carlisle stands as both a city, governed by the City of Carlisle Council and the county town of Cumbria. Its key industries include light manufacturing, wholesale, retail, agriculture, transport and logistics, and public services. The city's strategic position on the M6 motorway is leveraged by several large industrial estates, such as Kingstown Industrial Estate and Kingsmoor Park, fostering local employment.

Carlisle boasts a rich history, dating back to Roman times, when it was known as Luguvalium. The city may not be a major tourist hub, but it offers attractions like Carlisle Castle and Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery. Additionally, Carlisle is conveniently located near popular tourist destinations, including the Lake District, Hadrian's Wall, the Solway Coast, and Gretna Green in Scotland. The city also serves as a terminus for the renowned Settle Carlisle Railway.

In terms of education, Carlisle is home to the University of Cumbria, which has two campuses in the city and a total of 8,000 students. The university's presence contributes to a lively cultural scene and nightlife in the city.

Carlisle's property market offers excellent value for money, with lower prices compared to other cities, making it an attractive prospect for investors. Its direct access to the M6 motorway and the West Coast Main Line railway ensures convenient travel to London, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, and Glasgow.

The recent development of the brand-new Carlisle Lake District Airport further enhances Carlisle's appeal, with flights to London Southend, Belfast, and Dublin. This addition is expected to boost business and tourism in the area, potentially making Carlisle the next holiday home hotspot.

With its diverse industries, rich history, and proximity to popular tourist destinations, Carlisle presents a compelling case for investment.
