About

Workington East is a residential district situated along the northern bank of the River Derwent, near its outflow into the Solway Firth. The area is characterised by post-war housing estates and local amenities serving the community. Its landscape is largely flat, with views across the river towards the town centre and the distant hills beyond. The district's layout is functional, with a mix of semi-detached homes and smaller terraces providing housing for many local families.

A notable local landmark is the large Cloffocks industrial estate, which borders the residential streets and reflects the area's historical ties to manufacturing and port activities. Moorclose is a primary residential neighbourhood here, containing its own community centre and sports facilities. The area offers practical access to the A596 road, providing connections to other parts of Workington and west Cumbria, while the nearby riverbanks allow for walks along the mudflats and estuaries.
