Millom 

Millom and Haverigg are set in the quiet area of the the Furness Peninsula, with plenty to offer the visitor and some of the most important archaeological and historical attractions in Cumbria.

Millom is a town which wears its past on its sleeve, not glamorous but rich in down to earth hospitality and warmth. Accommodation is plentiful and sensibly priced in and around the town with the safe beaches of Haverigg and Silecroft a short drive away.

 Millom has recently had a statue commemorating the town's iron industry placed in the town. The statue of 'The Scutcher', is by Colin Telfer of Maryport.

Haverigg is a small coastal resort in a lovely setting with the sea on one side, and on the other, the easily accessible fell of Black Combe. The River Lazy runs through Haverigg and out into the extensive sandy beach which is a safe beach where children can play in comfort, is ideal for kite flying, walking the dog, horse riding, or just relaxing.

Haverigg is one of the quieter locations in the Lake District well suited to bird-watchers, cyclists and walkers. Incidentally, the walk along a level path from Millom to Haverigg passing through Hodbarrow RSPB reserve is well recommended especially on a warm Autumn day when there may be a few blackberries left to pick.

In 2003, the 7 tonne sculpture 'Escape to Light' by the world famous sculptress Josefina de Vasconcellos was installed near to the Haverigg Inshore Rescue station. It is dedicated to all Inshore Rescue Teams in the UK.
