Similar to neighbouring Northumberland, Cumberland formed part of a militarised frontier in Medieval times, and as such has many castles, with notable examples being at the county town of Carlisle, as well as at Bewcastle and Penrith.

== Transport ==
The main road in Cumberland is the M6 motorway, which traverses the county from north to south, serving Carlisle and Penrith. It links the county with Kendal, Preston (where traffic leaves for Manchester) as well as, ultimately, the West Midlands and southern England. Another major route is A66, which links the county with Yorkshire, Teesside and, via the A1, to eastern England.
