Highlight • Historical Site

The war memorial in Rickerby Park, Carlisle, is an impressive tribute to the fallen of the First World War, later expanded to include commemorations for the Second World War and subsequent conflicts.

Formal gardens and a monumental entrance were added in 1932–33 by landscape architect Edward Prentice Mawson and city engineer Percy Dalton.

Rickerby Park War Memorial

Highlight • Natural Monument

Rickerby Park is part of a gorgeous stretch of greenspaces along the River Eden, which meanders through the heart of Carlisle. It's a traditional Victorian parkland, which can easily be linked with an amble through Bitts Park and around the Sheepmount's many football fields and athletics track. The Hadrian's Wall Path long-distance trail also runs through the park.
