Administrative centre of Cumbria (8)

I believe the answer is:

carlisle

'administrative centre of cumbria' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for carlisle that I've seen before include "cathedral city" , "County town of Cumbria" , "England's Border City" , "Cumbrian city where Royalists surrendered in 1645" , "See" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Mirror and The Telegraph.
