Overview of Whitehaven

The town of Whitehaven is located North West of Gatwick airport a distance of 354 miles that would take around 6 hour 11 minutes by taxi via the M25, M40 and M6. Whitehaven is a small town and port on the coast of Cumbria, it is located on the west coast of the county, outside the Lake District National Park.

The Priory of St Bees owned the village of Whitehaven until Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries in 1539. The town was largely the creation of the Lowther family in the 17th century. In 1630 Sir Christopher Lowther purchased the estate and used Whitehaven as a port for exporting coal from the Cumberland Coalfield, particularly to Ireland. In 1634 he built a stone pier where ships could load and unload cargoes. Whitehaven grew into a major coal mining town during the 18th and 19th centuries and also became a substantial commercial port on the back of this trade. The town's fortunes as a port waned rapidly when ports with much larger shipping capacity, such as Bristol and Liverpool, began to take over its main trade. In recent years the harbour has seen much regeneration and is now just as popular with visitors as it is working fish fleets.

There are many places of interest in Whitehaven including The Beacon, an interactive historical adventure for all ages, The Rum Story, depicts the history of the UK's Rum Trade, whilst Haig Colliery Mining Museum takes a look at the local industrial and social mining history. Whitehaven also holds a Maritime Festival every 2 years, this is such a popluar event that it is estimated to bring in 350,000 visitors to the town over the 3 day event.
