The Otter statue in the centre is worth a visit, as is the Itinerant Fiddler. Also alot of art pieces on the wall.\\n\\nGood place to wander about, wide flat corridors with many small shops, and it has lifts. Seems generally accessibly designed. Can get very busy and loud. There are some benches around to sit down at, and public seating areas near some restaurants. Roof overhead means rain isn't a problem while inside.

Really a good place for family shopping got most famous brands, clean walkways, a library,etc. Got a post office, couple of banks and food shops behind lanes. Pay'n'park available but closes by 6pm.

Primark is exceptional value for money for nightwear underwear and clothers ,\\n\\nFriendly staff and well organised\\n\\nThe only problem is the cosmetics as many people have experienced allergies, with many products e.g. Lip liner lip gloss \\u0026 eye liner I personally avoid buying makeup from Primark chains\\n\\nSome clothing is made using cheap materials so always check the labels and any fraying or loose threads to determine quality as sadly the company has a culture of fast fashion creating a growing problem of textile waste once an item is gone it's gone as lines sell out quickly depending on fluctuations in tastes and trends many lines follow a repeating pattern of catering to sizes small to medium leaving a large majority unable to find anything to fit their shape many products are sold as one size fits all (underwear .bra's \\u0026 shoes ) however sadly that is rarely the case

A very bright, airy and clean shopping centre with a good offering of shops with something for everyone, was a very pleasant surprise, wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Lots of different shops in the Lanes with a few void spaces where shops have closed. I went in to have a coffee and muffin at the Muffin Break best muffins in my opinion in Carlisle and good coffee you have to try it.

Variety of shops and under cover. Toilet facilities are excellent, but on the same floor as the library!!!

All the usual shops and a nice wee quirky shop outside. Had musical group on at Debenhams entrance (shut down), they were fab ? cheered the place up

Plenty of shops till you drop. Good amount of shops still open after covid so thank goodness for that not the same for some places

Nice variety of shops with well lit parking. Sadly some empty units but that's a sign of the times I suppose with big (and little) names closing as online buying increases as an aside of the Covid-19 pandemic. Support your local shops or risk losing them ?

It used to be great here, but unfortunately now a lot of the shops have shut, particularly H&M and Debenhams. I know that's the fault of the 'Rona but it's a shame that they haven't been replaced with a new shop.

Busy place, unfortunately some of the shops have closed down like most places these days, public toilets are onsite and very clean, security always around so you feel safe enough.

Not the place it once was. Sadly Covid and the changing fortunes of the retail industry has left a significant number of units unoccupied. In the current climate, I'm not sure how this is going to be reversed; especially finding a retailer or retailers, to fill the cavanous space previously occupied by Debenhams.As a plus point, the Lanes Parking allows you to pay upon departure, so there is no need to risk of you running over on the parking you have paid for.

We visited Carlisle the last time we were in the Lake District, its quite a drive from Ambleside, but we'll worth it, The Lanes Shopping Centre is in the heart of the town centre, has great shops, surrounded by plenty more shops and coffee bars in the town. Well worth a visit.
