From the wildlife sanctuaries of Drigg and Eskmeals Dunes to
the very roof of England on Scafell Pike; from the once-bustling
Georgian port of Whitehaven to the fascinating but often
overlooked mining town of Millom - West Cumbria is a land of
extraordinary contrasts. As an added bonus, it is slightly removed
from the main tourist honeypots of the central lakes giving you
more room to breathe - even in peak season.
