Whitehaven is a historic coastal town and port in Cumbria, located on the western edge of the Lake District.
Originally developed in the 17th century as a planned town around its harbour, Whitehaven grew to become one of the most important ports in England during the 18th century, particularly for coal mining and trade with Ireland and the Americas. The town's Georgian architecture reflects this prosperous maritime past, with many well-preserved buildings in its grid-pattern streets.
The Rum Story heritage centre and The Beacon Museum showcase the town's maritime history, industrial heritage, and connections to the slave trade. Today, Whitehaven maintains its historical character while serving as a cultural and commercial centre for the local area, with its renovated harbour area hosting various cultural events and activities throughout the year.
