On the banks of the River Ellen, near Maryport Harbor, stands the striking sculpture "A Fishy Tale." This creation by artist Colin Telfer depicts two fishermen, a curious boy, and a dog peering together at a basket full of fish. Made of red sandstone, epoxy resin, and hematite dust, the artwork exudes not only craftsmanship but also warmth and local pride. With expressive poses and a touch of humor, this sculpture provides a tangible reminder of Maryport's fishing past.

The Reivers Route is the toughest C2C (Coast to Coast) route. It typically departs from Newcastle and travels east to west against the wind. While it may be the toughest, it's also undoubtedly the most beautiful. You'll pass stunning panoramas along the way.

Along Maryport's South Quay stands the impressive Alauna Aura, an elliptical steel sculpture that illuminates the city's past—literally. With cutouts that reference its Roman roots (Alauna), maritime heritage, local industries, and iconic figures like Fletcher Christian, the artwork forms a visual timeline in metal. By day, the shapes cast dynamic shadows, while at night, the sculpture is bathed in a changing light show that brings history to life.

If you're looking for a place to immerse yourself in the history and culture of Roman Britain, you might want to visit the Senhouse Roman Museum in Maryport.

You can learn about the lives and beliefs of the soldiers and civilians who lived here 2000 years ago, and admire the stunning views of the Solway Firth from the museum's watchtower. The museum is housed in a Victorian naval battery, which adds to its charm and uniqueness. The museum is open from Friday to Sunday, 10.30am to 4pm, and admission is £5 for adults and £3 for children. You can also enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a snack in the museum shop, or bring your own picnic to eat outside. The Senhouse Roman Museum is a hidden gem that will delight anyone interested in Roman history and archaeology .
