点评:Carlisle castle has been a military center for almost two thousand years so its not surprizing that it may look a little tired. The keep was built by two kings, King Henry I (1122 - 1135) and king David I of Scotland. (c1084 - 1153) The only castle ever built by both an English and a Scottish King. There are plenty of things to see on this site including two museums however, I advice going on one of the three regular daily tours given by the tour guides who explain things clearly with absolute tons of knowledge about what you are looking at.
There is a small cafe on site. Be aware that there are a lot of steps within the castle and onto the battlement around the top of the castle so a nice slow steady pace for people less mobile is needed. The staff are friendly and helpful as are the tour guides. A dog friendly complex.
A must to visit when coming to Carlisle. Admission fee is a little on the steep side however these kind of English Heritage places take a lot to maintain so the cost can be accounted for. The length of visit depends on how in depth you want to know about the Castle.
A tour takes a little over and hour, after you can go back and either take another look at your own pace at the castle or move on to the Military museum which is a showcase to the Kings Own Royal border Regiment established at the castle in 1881.
翻译:卡莱尔城堡作为军事中心已有近两千年的历史,所以它看起来有些陈旧也就不足为奇了。主塔由两位国王建造:英格兰国王亨利一世(1122-1135 年)和苏格兰国王大卫一世(约 1084-1153 年)。这是历史上唯一一座由英格兰国王和苏格兰国王共同建造的城堡。城堡内有很多值得一看的地方,包括两座博物馆。不过,我建议您参加每天三班的常规导览团之一,导游知识渊博,讲解清晰易懂。
城堡内设有一家小型咖啡馆。请注意,城堡内以及城堡顶部的城垛上有很多台阶,因此行动不便者需要放慢脚步,稳步前行。工作人员和导游都非常友好热情。城堡允许携带宠物狗。
卡莱尔城堡是必游之地。门票价格略高,但这类英国遗产景点的维护成本很高,所以这样的价格也算合理。参观时长取决于您想了解城堡的深度。
一次游览大约需要一个多小时,之后您可以返回城堡,自行再次细细欣赏,或者前往军事博物馆。该博物馆主要展示于1881年在城堡内建立的国王皇家边防军团的历史和风貌。
