Port Carlisle

Port Carlisle is a fishing village at Carlisle, Cumbria, England, UK, one mile from Bowness-on-Solway. Ordnance Survey NY241622.

Its original name was Fishers Cross, and the port was built in 1819. Four years later, a canal link was added to take goods to Carlisle Basin. The canal was closed in 1853, and Port Carlisle silted up.
