(lol) theres a double 15 set with handrails, but dont skate there, unless youre a pro, which is near the bus srop near the market. outside debenhams theres a set that goes round in a circle, has about 6 inches of skate traps tho so you need a far ollie and it goes from a 2 set to a 7. theres benches in town, make sure no ones sitting on them though they might not like you and theres a monument near gamestation where everyone goes at night when its dark, its mad eof marble, pretty good for slides..... and theres some nice cerbs at trinity school in the lower school library car park, as well as a little drain gap.Theres two 4sets there and a 6 set, lots of waxed ledges next to the geography classroom(wax courtesy of me;) and a lot of smooth ground for your runs. Tullie house has loads of stuff like a 3 ft ledge with practically infinite runup, loads of 1 ft stepups that are waxed, a marble subway for rainy days, but pretty shit cos of the words inscribed into the floor, go there to see. Finally theres a car park at dfs, with loads of gaps over flower planters, manual cerb gaps and waxed cerbs, (courtesy of me,alex and jay;) and thats right near trinity school

  • They've finally built the skatepark near the castle. Although lots of townys go there and bike around in the mud on their cheap mountain bikes and make the park all muddy. Bummer!

  • top end of carlisle infirmary has got the narliest rail and if you break your leg youre in the right place. outside debenhams, lanes, trinity, civic centre
  • Pedestrionised bit in the centre of town, Civic centre...
  • The civic center....although this has recently been overrun by little 11 yr old Tony Hawk wannabes. Trinity school yard (Upper school) This is where some of the gnarliest skaters hang out....I've heard rumours of guys pulling hardflips off from the roof of the geography departement! All the supermarkets where curbs can be waxxed Wetheral, just outside of carlisle has just given birth to a group of skaters..and there are some fuckin good spots there Next to wetheral...great corby, just over the viaduct has a school yard which is smooth as fuck, there are also benches to grind on and shit, very good find......to get there, just get the train to wetheral from carlisle. it costs 90p or some shit. It drops you right next to the viaduct which crosses the river over to great corby..I cant be fucked to give you the directions for the school...just look around and ask some old woman....she'll tell you. Outside the cumberalnd news office..set of steps to jump off. The high street, english + scotch street.....In summer, the momument right in the center of english street is taken up by skaters who watch their maytes pull off trix..... The main spot now is trinity..........I reccomend going to wetheral and great corby v. much..lots of poles to grind and lots of steps to ollie off, plus great corby has its fair share of good looking girlz :)

  • Have seen skateboarders on Trinity school playground and have also noticed some young lads skating about on the front of the Cumberland News offices on Dalston Road.
  • Catch a train to Penrith (only 20 mins). Go to Aldi or the swimming pool and meet millions of skaters.
  • Next to Prestos, off Botchergate. Car park with hills, banks, curbs and walls. Watch out for suit wearers.
  • No real skateboard areas but the centre of town and around the Civic center seem to be the hangout places (Rumour has it the council might........ be building a skatboard area)
