The Colourful Coast - also known as Whitehaven Coast is a stretch of coastline from Whitehaven Marina to St Bees on the west coast of Cumbria, part of the England Coastal Path and managed by The National Trust. Filled with stunning sea views and an abundance of history, join me for a walk along the Whitehaven end of this stretch of coastline. We will take a look at what remains of a few of Whitehaven's many coal mines and look at the site of a possible new one. We will see the clifftop former home of a famous author and take a walk along the top of one of the piers to see where a Coronation Street villain ended up in the Irish Sea!

The beacon museum is amazing.I like whiteheaven. In 1977 was with husband in at bees while he was part of a coal drilling rig crew found a load of coal. The months spent up there were best of my life

Thank you so much for giving me a taste of the delights that await me- in June I am making a bucket list trip to spend time in St. Bees with a dear friend I met in Ecuador in 1973- she visited me in Washington state, Pacific Northwest, in 2015 and now it’s my turn. I’m 77 and had not expected travel again, but I can still walk with trekking poles. So why not?! Such beautiful country and delightful people, like my friends and yourself. Iwill continue my education with your past videos!

Great video thanks, years since I was in Whitehaven. I used to live in Cumbria, now living in Lancashire.

Just found this!! Ok, Three years old but very current as planning to visit this August 2024. I left Whitehaven 60 years ago for Sheffield as very little Employment available? Yes. Haige Pit or on a Fishing Boat. Sellafield was way out of my reach at the time. Remember Fishing off the Peir. The Steam Tank Engines on the Quayside.Coal Wagons lowered down the hillside on a wire rope from the Pit. Cargo Ships in the Inner Dock for Marchon and Quaker Oats. Plus much more. How things change.

It wasn't this peaceful yesterday (6/2/22) - the wind was blowing a hooley and with a very high tide, the waves were crashing over the harbour walls - really spectacular. As for the lighthouses - currently all wrapped up and undergoing restoration.

Nice video, but could have expanded to show the history in the town, such as the marketplace, Lowther castle, park, train stations, rum story, George Washington's Grandmother's grave in St. Nicholas gardens, Rugby ground, St. James Church, the new bus station plus the many pubs & restaurants and my house 🤣

🤣Thanks. The history you mention, especially the American links to the town are planned for a future video. I’ll try and give you some warning before I show up at your house. 😂

I may be wrong but if you meant at 10:55 it's actually just black wool caught on the barbed wire.

I see what you mean. I thought it was just water splashing against the rocks but it is what looks like a seal. 😀👍🏻

I have just booked a train journey to St Bees, from Newcastle via Carlisle as well as the return from Whitehaven. I'll have about 3 hours between trains I was initially just going to walk to Whitehaven along the road but now think I would like to visit the beach first at St Bees, then walk along the coastal path to whitehaven .. do you think I could easily do this in my 3 hour timeslot. Regards from Whitley Bay

@ThatllDoVlog 7 ай бұрын

From St Bees station to Whitehaven station over the coast will be about 7.5 miles. It’s up and down & probably a bit boggy through the fields this time of year so 3 hours may be a stretch. If it was me, I wouldn’t attempt it.

It’s free parking at Ennerdale, but for the rest of the lakes it’s mostly pay parking unless you’re lucky and can get one of the roadside parking places. 👍🏻
