Whitehaven Marina Ltd

Even nice on a gloomy day such as today. A spacious picturesque marina with all kinds of craft. What looks like a military fort on one side turns out to be a mine which runs 4 miles beneath the sea. An incredible engineering feat. There is a really fantastic museum and cafe. Great to walk around the old harbour walls where there are many information displays about the harbour history.

Great harbour to walk around different routes to take. Statues of the miners and informative lettering on the benches around and on the ground. A reminder of the terrible reminders of a tough working town. Great coastal walk also. The people all very friendly very happy to stop for a chat. Great area to explore. 😊👌

Signposting for disabled parking could be improved but otherwise exactly what it says on the tin. Historic marina with well placed information signs.

Nice port area with some interesting statues and buildings. The lighthouse looks a bit sorry for itself and could do with a good freshen up clean and paint. Nice walk up to the old pit chimney with the rememberance mural and plaques for those who perished in the mines.

Great harbour to walk round , lots of boats to look at & the route takes you over the lock gates which provides a bit of entertainment if there are boats going out to sea. The lock gates will be closed when on freeflow, look out for a flag flying alongside the lock keepers building. If it's flying, you'll not get all the way round. Especially nice on a warm sunny day.
