Maryport

Maryport is a small seaside town. Apologies to anyone that lives there but it seams like a ghost town. Some one is obviously investing huge amounts of money into the town with the development of coastal apartments. I think it will take many years before this place is worth a decent visit. The only good thing I can really say is that the roads are quiet because no one seams to be there.
We didnt see anywhere to eat or visit.....if anyone can correct me I will be happy and will make another visit next time.
Best thing there was the view from the harbour.

This page is near enough a carbon copy of a page in my Lake District Pages......This is an individual town but is also on the Lakes pages to try and tie up with the suggested trips around that area. Please use the link to find more information for surrounding areas.

Maryport has a nice harbour area, lovely beaches and even Roman ruins. Also superb views across the Solway Firth. It is very handy for the north western lakes and you'll find the natives very friendly.

Maybe I'll skip Maryport if I'm ever in that area!
