2023 was the Year of the Coast, and we are continuing to celebrate our coastal heritage in 2024 and beyond, giving visitors a chance to discover new, less-explored areas. The Lake District, Cumbria is celebrated for lakes, mountains and incredible scenery but it also proudly boasts an epic coastline, from Morecambe Bay and the Furness Peninsula in the south to the Solway Firth in the north.
A visit to the Cumbrian Coast offers a great day out or an action-packed holiday for all the family. Also perfect for a romantic break, a trip with friends or solo exploring.
In a recent visitor survey by Cumbria Tourism, 94% of respondents said they felt a boost to their general health and wellbeing during their visit. The Cumbrian Coast is the place to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air....Read More
2023 was the Year of the Coast, and we are continuing to celebrate our coastal heritage in 2024 and beyond, giving visitors a chance to discover new, less-explored areas. The Lake District, Cumbria is celebrated for lakes, mountains and incredible scenery but it also proudly boasts an epic coastline, from Morecambe Bay and the Furness Peninsula in the south to the Solway Firth in the north.
A visit to the Cumbrian Coast offers a great day out or an action-packed holiday for all the family. Also perfect for a romantic break, a trip with friends or solo exploring.
In a recent visitor survey by Cumbria Tourism, 94% of respondents said they felt a boost to their general health and wellbeing during their visit. The Cumbrian Coast is the place to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air. Walk along the promenade at one of our seaside towns and villages or take an exhilarating run along the beach. You could even indulge in a spot of forest bathing.
For history buffs explore Roman baths and forts or discover the fascinating story of the area’s spice trade; not forgetting historic castles, stately homes and steam trains.
If you are seeking that feeling of getting back to nature the Cumbrian Coast is home to nature reserves, Areas Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, nature-rich mudflats, sand dunes and beaches. There is plenty of wildlife too including the rare Natterjack Toad. If you are lucky you may even see a seal pup on your visit.
For an exhilarating bike ride the Cumbrian Coast features cycle routes with sea views. Whatever your age, interest or ability there is fun to be had on two wheels.
Notable highlights include St Bees Head with towering red sandstone cliffs looming above the crashing waves and the sandy beach below. Here you will find one of the largest sea bird colonies in the North West, with their bustling communities highly active here in the Spring and Summer months.
The bustling harbour at Whitehaven is well-worth a visit and there is no better way to enjoy fish and chips than sitting on the front at Arnside watching the world go by.
Take a look at the Cumbrian Coastal Route, a 200 mile tour which has been designed to inspire you to explore this captivating and unique area.
