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
If 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.
