About

Harrington ward occupies a coastal stretch of Cumberland, centred around the village of its name. The area is defined by its industrial harbour and a working waterfront, with a history linked to shipbuilding and coal mining. The landscape includes flat, reclaimed land near the docks and rises gently inland. Residential streets are mixed with commercial port operations, creating a functional environment.

A notable structure is the Harrington No. 10 Level winding house, a remnant of the local colliery. The coastline here features a shingle beach and the Old Quay, which shelters fishing boats. The area's economy remains connected to the sea and logistics. Footpaths follow the old railway line, providing views across the Solway Firth towards Scotland.
