Western Lake District Holiday Brochure

Silloth
Silloth-on-Solway with its grand Victorian houses, wide, cobbled streets and fine seaward vista, offers the opportunity for a relaxing, ‘get away from it all’ break. The views out to sea are magnificent, but Silloth has a lot more to offer than landscapes alone; a very fine links course provides a demanding and enjoyable test for golfers while families can enjoy a traditional seaside holiday.

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.

Whitehaven
Picturesque Whitehaven is a must for the discerning visitor. Once one of the busiest ports in England, it is now famous for it’s magnificent bi – annual International Maritime Festival.

Egremont
Close to the sea and the Lake District fells, Egremont has a romantic ruined castle to explore, Egremont Castle, whilst the town’s annual Crab Fair and World Gurning Championship allows you to experience vibrant local celebrations.

Millom
Sitting by the Duddon river estuary with Black Combe Fell on its doorstep, the former fishing village of Millom became rich on iron-ore mining and steel making in the 19th Century. Today, nature reserves and fabulous views across the Duddon estuary to the Lake District have replaced industrialisation.

Maryport
Maryport is a town of discovery. On foot you can see how the town is built on a grid pattern in the 18thC, and is very easy to find your way around. Take time to wander and enjoy the special seaward views and then find out about the fauna in the sea - the Lake District Aquarium does just that in a lively and informative way.

Cockermouth
This town of just 7,000 inhabitants has so much to offer the visitor. Starting at the west end of Main Street is Wordsworth House, the home of the poet William. In the care of the National Trust, the house gives a fascinating insight into the formative years of the poet, perhaps best remembered for Daffodils.

Wigton
Melvyn Bragg is Wigton's most famous son and the town features prominently in a number of the author's best works including The Cumbrian Trilogy, The Soldier's Return and the acclaimed oral history, Speak for England.

Ravenglass
Ravenglass on the Lake District Coast is a pretty village with lots of leisure craft in its estuary. Almost 2000 years ago, the Romans guarded this coast against Barbarian invasion and heir bathhouse can still be seen in the village. Transport of a more modern kind is in evidence as the village is the starting point for the famous Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.
