Overview

Heysham Park is a long, narrow corridor of green space running from the Westernmost fringe of the City at Belle Vue right through to the Raffles area of central Carlisle.

Join us for a walk through this Carlisle park with a fascinating history.  Did you know that:

  • The park is named after Doctor John Heysham who was a physician who lived 1753-1834.  His work involved promoting the medical interests and sanitary welfare of the people of Carlisle, and in 1782 he founded the Carlisle Dispensary, where the poor of the city could obtain free medicines 
  • On his death in 1834 John Heysham, left £1000 in trust for the creation of a people’s park.
