20의 Lowca가지 명소 & 주요 장소

The River Derwent in Cumbria is one of the most iconic rivers in Northwest England, with a course that is both geographically and culturally significant. Rising at Sprinkling Tarn in the highlands of the Lake District, the river flows north through the Borrowdale valley, crossing Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake. It then turns west, passing through Cockermouth—where William Wordsworth grew up—and empties into the Irish Sea at Workington.

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 red sandstone is impressive.

St Bees North Head is the highest point on the north west coast of England, rising to 295 feet (90 m) above sea level. From its clifftop paths are huge views west to the sea and east to the fells of Lakeland. It is part of the only western stretch of Heritage Coast between Wales and Scotland. Birdlife is abundant, with many nesting species. A lighthouse stands proud on the headland, whilst the cliffs also host rock climbers, with many bolted routes.

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.

St Bees North and South Head (collectively referred to as St Bees Head) make up the most westerly point of northern England and rise some 295 (90 m) feet from the sea. The South Head, often known as Tomlin, is not as dramatic as its sibling, but it is still a fine viewpoint in its own right. It is the first landmark of note on Wainwright's Coast to Coast from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay.

Flowing 66 miles (106 km) from Derwent Mouth to Bleaklow, the Derwent is a picturesque river. In the 18th century, the river played an important role in the Industrial Revolution as its water-powered Richard Arkwright's Cromford Mill, the first water-powered cotton spinning mill in the world. The river also provides important habitats for varied wildlife as it flows through the Peak District and its foothills.
