About

Parton and Distington are neighbouring villages located on the coastal fringe of West Cumbria, separated by the A595 trunk road. The area sits between the Irish Sea and the rolling western slopes of the Lake District fells. Parton has a small harbour and a history tied to the coal and iron industries, with its terraced housing climbing from the shoreline. Distington, slightly inland, developed significantly in the 20th century with large-scale industrial and housing estates, creating a more modern residential character.

The landscape here is defined by its industrial heritage and proximity to major working sites. The villages are directly overlooked by the towering structures of the Sellafield nuclear site to the south, which dominates the local economy. A notable local landmark is the distinctive, pyramid-shaped hill of Moota, visible to the northeast. Daily life is shaped by the shift patterns of the nearby plants, with a strong sense of community persisting in both the older and newer housing areas.
