We take a train from our local station Epsom Downs to London Victoria followed by a tube train to Euston, boarding the LNER to Carlisle. Arriving on time at Carlisle, a good start the weather is warm & sunny soon finding the accommodation & checking in leaving our bags we take ourselves on a tour of Carlisle visiting the town centre & the Cathedral with it's magnificent Starry night painted ceiling.
