Local Towns

From coastal gem towns such as Whitehaven, Millom, Workington, and Maryport, to the beautifully presented Georgian streets of Cockermouth. From the northern seaside towns of Allonby and Silloth boasting one of the most coveted coastlines in the country, to the quiet and unassuming towns of St Bees and Beckermet. These are to name a few of the most beautiful towns in the North of England, all packed with things to see and do, and places to stay.

Each month we will be featuring one of our towns to give you a flavour for what's in store when you visit... take a look and discover our hidden gems.

This month's featured town...

WORKINGTON

workingtonIf shopping is your thing, Workington has bags of interest courtesy of a sympathetically re-developed town centre featuring high street names and local specialist shops. The remains of Curwen Hall in Curwen Park are worth viewing whilst 200m across the park, the Helena Thompson Museum houses a scale model of the Hall and its various galleries give an intimate flavour of the town's history. Close by is the oldest part of town radiating out from the market square - worth exploring too for its range of local shops and pubs.
