Within a few steps there is the children's Shipwreck playground and next to that is the popular Maryport Aquarium. Across the road from Harbour Gates and beside the river Ellen is the newly built Wave Centre which is hosts to a variety of entertainment and leisure activities as well as being home to the Maritime Museum. Within easy walking distance you can be in Maryport centre which has undergone substantial investment to its infrastructure and now includes a new pedestrian footbridge over the harbour front. In Maryport there is a range of pubs and a variety of restaurants which cater for most culinary wants.

To the south Workington has undergone a City Centre transformation to bring it into the 21st Century and beyond that is St Bees, the start of the coast to coast challenge.

About the local area

The Western Lake District is an area of great diversity and contrasts, with famous lakes, awesome mountains and dramatic coastline. Home to Britain’s deepest lake, Wast Water (86m metres deep) and England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike (977 metres high).

Much of Western Lake District lies within the Lake District National Park and includes many National Nature Reserves, where, at some, guided walks are available.

Each valley has its own special characteristics, from the austerity of Wasdale to the lush green of Eskdale and the peace of Buttermere Valley. Then of course there is the beautiful Crummock Water and Loweswater.

At the coast visitors will find busy harbours, award-winning beaches and dramatic cliffs. Situated on the shores of the Solway Firth is Silloth with wide uncrowded beaches and views across the water to the Scottish hills (Due to tides not suitable for swimming). This coastal area has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Down the coast is Maryport, with its Lake District Coast Aquarium and Maritime Museum. A short distance inland is the old market town of Cockermouth, where a market has been held here since 1221 and also famous as the birth place of William and Dorothy Wordsworth.
