Tullie House, Carlisle

On two of the afternoons when our digging was rained out we took mini road trips to some nearby Northumberland towns. Matt took me to see the Hexham Abbey one day and we went to Carlisle another day. Tullie House is the museum in Carlisle with a combination of historical, artistic and natural history exhibits. We were especially interested in the Roman displays, where they have a lot of inscribed altars and some interactive exhibits. It was a good place to hang out on a rainy afternoon.Saddle up! Matt rides as a Roman (no reins!)
