Carlisle is generally very safe - like any city it can have its issues, but overall I feel safe even as a woman alone at night ! Botchergate is the main area for going out, and because of that it can get a bit rowdy on a Saturday night but still in general I always feel safe even!

I consider my home city of Carlisle to be safe. Although it would appear that the crime rate is higher than the National average for the North West UK this maybe localised to specific groups I have never felt unsafe in thd town centre
