About Port Carlisle

Port Carlisle, a coastal village in Cumberland, Cumbria, lies within the civil parish of Bowness-on-Solway. Once known as Fisher's Cross, it gained significance as the terminus of the Carlisle Canal, serving as a vital sea outlet for Carlisle. Although the canal's importance waned with the construction of the larger Silloth docks and the subsequent silting of the Solway, the area still retains historical relevance and could be of interest for planning applications related to coastal development and heritage conservation. It sits within the Bowness district.
