The Waggon Way is part of NCN 72 (Hadrian's Cycle Way). It's a lovely traffic-free path which literally hugs the coast. Good smooth surface and great views throughout.

This viewpoint can be found near 'The Candlestick' (see highlight https://www.komoot.com/highlight/4262277), only a stone's throw up the hill. It offers a fantastic panorama of the coast around Whitehaven, its harbour and lighthouses as well as of The Candlestick

Bike path with a generally good surface between Whitehaven in the south and Parton to the north. The section is about 2km long with great sea views all along it.

A small stone cairn close to the Haig Colliery. The plaque reads 'This shaft was sunk in 1750 by Carlisle Spedding the mining agent for the Lowther Family. The 1793 it had reached a depth of 160 fathoms which at that time made it the deepest pit in the world'. 160 fathoms is approximately 960 feet or 295 metres.

I had a lovely breakfast sandwich and a cup of tea at the half way (ish) point on my Workington to St Bees Cumbria Coastal Way section at a café called Anna's Bar & Kitchen on Whitehaven Harbour, right on the Millennium Promenade.

The 9ft crucifix was erected 7 years ago by a local man (without advance planning permission) in memory of his wife whose ashes he included in the design. He affixed the cross to the existing stone seat. The Council then approved it retrospectively after a wave of both support and opposition - the vote was five to four.

In 17th-century England, only Bristol and London were busier ports than Whitehaven and it continued to be an important coal port well into the 20th century. Today Cumbria's largest coastal settlement is an attractive town with many amenities. Interestingly, Whitehaven Harbour was the site of one of the last attempted invasions of Britain when John Paul Jones (no, not the Led Zeppelin bassist) landed 30 armed men here on 23rd April 1778.
