Port Carlisle

Port Carlisle is a fishing village at Carlisle, Cumbria, England, one mile from Bowness-on-Solwaygrid reference NY241622.

Historically within Cumberland, 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.
