    Don’t miss the public art piece “A Fishy Tail” by Colin Telfer. This piece is a testament to the town’s maritime history and is a great photo opportunity.

    Hiking

    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.
