Yes, Carlisle, England is walkable city, especially city centre, which is compact and pedestrian-friendly, making it easy to explore on foot. Carlisle city centre is small, with most attractions within 10 to 20 minutes walk of each other, including Carlisle Castle, Carlisle Cathedral, Tullie House Museum, Lanes Shopping Centre, market square, and train station all within half mile. The city centre has pedestrianized areas around English Street and Lanes, with flat terrain, making walking easy. Bitts Park along River Eden is walkable from centre. However, some suburbs like Stanwix, Morton, Upperby, and Botcherby are 1 to 3 miles from centre, requiring bus or car, and walkability decreases in outskirts with less sidewalks. For tourists, Carlisle is very walkable, you can see main sights in a day without car, with good signage. Carlisle, Ontario is not walkable, it is rural hamlet with no sidewalks, spread out farms and large lots, requiring car for everything, as hamlet has no public transit and amenities are far apart. So Carlisle, England is walkable in centre, with Walk Score around 60 to 70 for centre, meaning somewhat walkable, while overall district is car dependent. For visitors staying central, walking is best way, with train station 10 minutes from castle. So yes, Carlisle is walkable city for its centre and tourist attractions, though suburbs need transport.
