Taken from  Bowness-on-Solway: Burgh Marsh - Border City Cycle Hire  blog with their permission. Photo their own. I'm often asked about the absence of Hadrian's Wall along the route between Bowness-on-Solway and Carlisle? Those that have experienced my 'Tour Guide' monologue when travelling with their bikes to begin cycling along the N72 cycle route Eastwards, will recognise that the stone from The Wall is now incorporated into various structures, notably the Keep Tower at St Michaels Church in Burgh-by-Sands. This invariably leads me into another area of ancient history - the demise of King Edward 1st, otherwise known as 'The Hammer of the Scots' or Edward Longshanks. Edward was a formidable King and had pushed the Scottish forces northward and out of Carlisle, on a number of occasions. This time, he had assembled his army on Burgh marsh just north of Burgh-by-Sands, with the intent of crossing the Solway estuary when the tide allowed, then attack the Scottish ...

AJ Training Academy Beth and Managing Director, Adrian Kirkbride at Carlisle Ambassadors  What inspired the creation of AJ Security and AJ Training Academy in Adrian Kirkbride's words: I've been in the industry since 1989 & in 2017 a good friend of mine & the town was fatally wounded in an unprovoked knife attack.  Overnight I decided that this would not happen again to the best of my ability, or would be hindered. I founded AJ-Security with the sole intention of protecting & reassuring people & businesses that Assets & properties are safe. In doing so it would also be an intention to welcome tourist trade to Maryport & also encourage new or established businesses to set up in Maryport which may also increase revenue for the area. In early 2018 I managed to get all the boxes ticked in order for us to go 'live' and hit the ground running to benefit others, as well as gain a foothold in the industry currently covered with National security service ...
