About

Workington North & Seaton occupies a coastal stretch of the Solway Firth. The landscape is defined by industrial heritage and the wide estuary, with the River Derwent meeting the sea here. The area includes the working port of Workington, with its steel production and deep-water harbour facilities.

Inland, the settlements give way to flat, reclaimed marshland known as the Solway Plain. The coastline itself is a mixture of pebble beaches and low cliffs, with views across the water to the hills of southern Scotland. Seaton is a village with a long history tied to the nearby Haig Colliery, which once extended tunnels far out beneath the sea.
