Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Always visit Bitts Park when in Carlisle. Immaculately maintained and a wonderful walk along the River Eden. Well done, Carlisle!

We enjoyed a gentle stroll through the Park. The Flower Gardens were beautiful and it was enjoyable to walk along the River Eden. Great to see families and school children taking advantage of the grounds so they can play.

A nice park near the centre of Carlisle. Has some lovely walking tracks, gardens, and borders the Eden and Caldew Rivers. Plenty of seating areas and great spot for a picnic.

Lovely park by the River Eden. A short walk from Carlisle city centre and part of the Hadrian's wall trail. Lots of space for running, walking, picnicing and playing. Beautiful flowers

Good concert shame about the organisation. Went to Tom Jones seats were uncomfortable and one level. Result was when he came out everybody stood up and you could see nothing. Screen quality was shocking and they were so low you couldn’t see them either. Not a good experience. Not designed or organised enough to be used for concerts.

Bitts Park is just on the edge of Carlisle City Centre and is next to the castle. There are plenty of paths to walk on as well as a play area, cafe and toilets. There is a huge statue of Queen Victoria near the entrance to the park which is quite grand.
It's a great place to walk and enjoy the fresh air.

Bits Park is a small, city centre park that sits between the Castle ramparts and the River Eden and is a pleasant place for a stroll. As well as the expected play areas and gardens, the park has nice pathways alongside the river. It also has plenty of benches and a decent looking cafe, so is well worth a visit if you are in the area.

It has an enormous grassfield where concerts are held for example in July Little Mix are coming and it is held there. However during a flood or in rain it gets very, very boggy.
