The coastline of Cumbria stretches for almost two hundred miles
from Morecambe Bay to the Solway Firth and passes through the
beautiful Lake District National Park.The Cumbria and Lake District
Coast provides suggestions for places to visit along the coast,
including picturesque harbours, stately homes, museums and seaside
resorts. Readers will also discover less well-known sights such as
medieval buildings, lighthouses and stone circles. The Lancashire
shores of Morecambe Bay and the Scottish shores of the Solway Firth
are included too. For those interested in the history of the coast,
there is an introduction to the role of coastal trade through the
centuries. Topics include the Roman coastal defences that once
extended to Maryport beyond Hadrian's Wall, how mining contributed
to the growth of ports such as Barrow, Millom and Workington, and
the canals that linked ports at Lancaster, Ulverston and Carlisle
to the shore. For wildlife enthusiasts, the book highlights the
many nature reserves that dot the shoreline and the varied habitats
that are found, such as sand dunes, lowland raised mires and
spectacular sea cliffs. There are also tips on watching waterbirds,
for which Morecambe Bay and the Solway Firth are famed, and on
where to see seals and tidal bores such as the Arnside Bore. With
stunning colour photographs, The Cumbria and Lake District Coast is
a must-read for travellers and local residents alike. It will also
be of interest to walkers along the England Coast Path, a fabulous
new long-distance trail which is due to be completed shortly.
