Workington Harbour and Coastal View

Highlight • River

As with many of Cumbria's coastal settlements, Workington played a major role in the Industrial Revolution and even up to 2006 was the gold-standard in creating high quality, iron railway track.

Thanks to regeneration around this time, Workington is home to numerous public works of art and a revitalised shopping district.

From its source at Styhead Tarn beneath Great Gable and Great End, the River Derwent ends its epic 60-mile (96.6 km) journey through the Lake District at Workington. The town is about 6 miles (10 km) from the national park boundary.

View of Siddick Ponds Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Siddick Ponds is a valuable nature reserve in Cumbria, designated as both a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The area comprises two large ponds—one freshwater and one brackish—surrounded by extensive reedbeds, creating a unique ecological combination within the region. This diverse habitat makes Siddick Ponds one of Cumbria's most important birdwatching areas, hosting a diverse community of bird species year-round.

River Derwent

Highlight • Natural

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.

Navvies Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Navvies Bridge is a modern pedestrian and cycle bridge over the River Derwent in Workington, Cumbria, built in 2011 to replace an earlier bridge that was destroyed in the 2009 floods. The new bridge is designed as a twin-ribbed untied bowstring arch of steel, with a span of 84.8 metres and a deck width of 3 metres — almost double the width of the original bridge.
