From picturesque villages to ancient seaports, the towns and villages of the Western Lake District and Coast offer a rich history and heritage alongside plenty to see and do.

From the birthplace of Wordsworth in Cockermouth to the only coastal village in the Lake District in Ravenglass, there’s lots to discover.

Explore the following towns and villages: Buttermere | Cleator Moor | Cockermouth | Duddon Valley | Maryport | Millom | Ravenglass, Muncaster & Eskdale | Silloth | Whitehaven | Workington
