About

Bransty ward is located in the northern part of the town of Whitehaven, within the Cumberland unitary authority area. It sits on the coastal edge of the town, overlooking the Irish Sea. The area's topography includes a notable hill, known as Bransty Hill, which influences the local street layout and provides elevated views across the harbour and out to sea. The ward contains residential housing, local shops, and community facilities, serving as a residential district for the town.

A key feature of the area is its historical connection to Whitehaven's maritime and industrial past. The ward is directly adjacent to the town's harbour, which was once a major port for the coal trade. This proximity to the harbour and the former railway lines that serviced it has shaped the area's development. The presence of the Haig Colliery mining museum on the nearby coast, though just outside the ward, underscores the local industrial heritage that defines the community's identity.
