Continue further afield to Whitehaven, home to an exciting array of heritage waiting to be discovered at Whitehaven Castle, dating back to 1769, and The Beacon Museum. For a different type of adventure, hop on board the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway, journeying along a seven-mile line from Ravenglass to Dalegarth Station near Boot, in the Valley of Eskdale, in the Lake District. The Chalet offers a splendid coastal and countryside break, whatever time of year.

On the western outskirts of the Lake District, in the Borough of Copeland, is the market town of Egremont. The population of this thriving town, which is located at the base of Dent Fall, is remarkably similar to that of the 13th century. With the Norman castle ruins at the southern end, close above the river Ehen, the main street extends out onto the market square. There are a number of churches, a few supermarkets, an arts centre, as well as stores and restaurants. The westernmost lake in the National Park is Ennerdale Water, which is tucked away in Cleater. It is thought to be the most tranquil of all the lakes. It is the least visited of all the lakes and is considerably off the main path, with no public roads lining its National Trust-owned shoreline. St. Bees, a seaside town, is the starting point of Wainwright's well-known "Coast to Coast" Walk. It is home to a Norman priory, an Elizabethan public school, a nine-hole golf course, and a number of traditional pubs. Due to its proximity to a village, St. Bees Head is Cumbria's sole Heritage shoreline and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There are numerous opportunities for treks along the clifftops and strolls along the sandy beach. Whitehaven, an attractive Georgian port tucked between the sparkling sea and Lakeland Fells, is located farther along this lovely coastline. Learn about the town's rich history at the Beacon Heritage Centre, as well as its lovely parks and gardens. Muncaster Castle, the Eskdale and Ravenglass miniature railway, and Wasdale Head, the beginning of the ascent to the top of Scaffel Pike, the highest mountain in England, are all 12 miles away. a great starting point for exploring the Lake District's western coast.
