Maryport Harbour lies at the mouth of the River Ellen, where it flows into the Irish Sea. Once a bustling center of shipbuilding and coal exports, it boasted busy quays and a vibrant maritime trade. Today, the harbor exudes a tranquil charm, with a modern marina accommodating both sailboats and motorboats. The old warehouses and stone quays are reminders of its industrial past, while the lighthouse and views of the Solway Firth provide a picturesque backdrop. Around the harbor, you'll find charming cafés, seafood restaurants, and walking trails that invite you to explore.

Once a Roman port, Maryport is now a modern town with a pretty harbour at its heart. Look out for 'A Fishy Tail' sculpture by Colin Telfer next to the River Ellen estuary that runs through the town. Maryport has some great places to eat overlooking the harbour or the sea – you will find everything from fish and chips to Indian curries.
