Towns and Villages around the Western Lakes

From Lakeland postcard villages to ancient seaports, the towns and villages of the Western Lakes wear their history and heritage in every slate and brick. Here you’ll find handsome Georgian streets, busy market centres and tiny villages strewn about the valleys, seemingly forgotten by the modernising hand of the contemporary age.

  1. Buttermere
    Buttermere
    The Buttermere Valley is a classic Lakelands postcard with the blue ribbon lakes of Buttermere, Crummock Water and Loweswater knotted together.
  2. Cockermouth Town Centre
    Cockermouth
    The handsome Georgian town of Cockermouth is the gateway to the western Lake District. A busy schedule of events keeps the town buzzing throughout the year.
  3. Duddon Valley
    Duddon Valley
    Perhaps one of the most beautifully isolated spots in the Lake District is the stunning Duddon Valley, where there is unrivalled walking on the fells.
  4. Maryport
    Maryport
    From its earliest days as a fishing port to its more recent history as a port during the Georgian and Victorian eras, Maryport has always had a close affinity with the sea.
  5. Ravenglass
    Ravenglass, Muncaster & Eskdale
    The green fields and woodlands of the Eskdale valley, embroidered with the sparkling thread of the river Esk, penetrate deep into the central Lakeland fells.
  6. Silloth
    Silloth
    The Victorian seaside town of Silloth is a popular destination for its leisurely atmosphere, seaside recreation and spectacular sunsets.
  7. Whitehaven
    Whitehaven
    The maritime port of Whitehaven was once the third-largest in the UK with trade links all over the world.
  8. Curwen Hall, Workington
    Workington
    Workington offers a pedestrianised shopping district in the middle of town and a long history, which is proudly on show in Curwen Park, home to the picturesque ruin Curwen Hall.

the western lakes has a rich history, brilliantly told
