With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Carlisle, 20 miles away, has to offer. The Sands Centre should be at the top of your list here. Bitts Park and Carlisle Castle are must-see attractions too. Don’t miss Appleby-in-Westmorland either! Just 25 miles away, Appleby Castle, Courtyard Gallery and Appleby Golf Club are must-sees here.
