About

Whitehaven Harbour sits on the west Cumbrian coast with a network of quays and basins that grew up in the 17th and 18th centuries to serve the town’s coal trade. The town centre is arranged around the harbour in a planned street layout that dates from that period, so roads run outwards from the waterfront rather than following a later, organic pattern. The Beacon Museum and other waterfront buildings record maritime and industrial history while fishing boats and leisure craft share the quays on most days.

Corkickle lies just to the east and above the harbour and includes Corkickle railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, giving local rail access along the coastal corridor. The area mixes terraces and low-rise housing with pockets of light industry and offers direct pedestrian routes down to the harbour front. Local lanes and shore paths provide short walks along the coast and views back across the inner harbour, making Corkickle a practical link between Whitehaven’s residential areas and its working waterfront.
