Description
Cumbria’s coastline between the border and Morecambe Bay.
From Gretna to Grange-over-Sands, the path traverses wide estuaries, coastal towns, and open landscapes, with the Lake District forming a scenic backdrop. This map booklet compiles the northern North West section of the King Charles III England Coast Path. It provides a clear map base for a coastline often perceived as quieter than England’s more renowned holiday areas.
Continuous OS maps at 1:25,000 scale.
The route is highlighted on detailed Ordnance Survey maps, indicating harbors, coastal formations, access points, and other key features. The booklet can be used for travel in both directions, facilitating an understanding of how stages connect. Its compact format fits into a pocket or backpack, proving practical for use throughout the day’s walk.
Choose between longer treks and shorter sections.
Carlisle, Silloth, Maryport, Workington, Whitehaven, Ravenglass, and Ulverston are among the locations along this coastal stretch. The map coverage assists in orienting your walk choices around various starting points. Solway Firth, remnants of Roman history, and mountain views offer variety when deciding where to spend most of your time.
A map product for coastal walking.
This booklet contains the map base; comprehensive route descriptions and planning material are available in Cicerone’s separate North West guide. Lancashire and Merseyside are covered by a different map booklet. Many stages can be divided, but some days in Cumbria are longer and more demanding. Tides, weather, and local route changes should be checked before your trip.
A long tradition of walking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged from climbers and mountaineers who wished to share their thorough knowledge of routes – a tradition that continues to characterize these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
