The Georgian architecture of many of the buildings has been well-preserved, and you can take a guided tour to learn more about the town's history and the lives of its residents.

But it's not just the town's history that's worth exploring. Whitehaven is located on the edge of the Lake District National Park, one of the most beautiful natural areas in the UK. You can take a short drive to enjoy the stunning scenery of the park, or explore the coastline and nearby beaches.
