Industrial heritage of the Whitehaven Coast guided walk
Beacon Museum, Whitehaven Harbour, West Strand, Whitehaven, Cumbria, CA28 7LS
Join ranger Chris Gomersall as he guides you on a 2 hour walk along the coast while talking about the mining history of the area as well as the stories around the founding of Whitehaven. Take a step back in time as you imagine what it would have been like when the town was a bustling port, busy with imports and exports travelling by sea. Of course, the high view over the sea with the flowering meadows we have been working to restore makes for a picture perfect day everyone can enjoy.
