Whitehaven. This Georgian town, situated on the west coast of Cumbria, was one of the first post-renaissance planned towns in the country. Built on shipping and mining, both industries have now declined, but Whitehaven is never-the-less an attractive town and is one of the 40 Gem Towns in England (the only other in Cumbria being Cockermouth ).
- Walk Around Town. It’s impossible to get lost in the centre of Whitehaven as the town was plotted on a spacious right-angled grid. Leading to the harbour are the broad and grand thoroughfares, Duke Street and Lowther Street.
- The Harbour. The landowner and MP, a Sir Christopher Lowther set about building Whitehaven’s harbour in the middle of the 17th century to trade coal. The Old Quay here, a stone pier first built in 1631-34, is among the UK’s oldest surviving coal wharves.
- The Beacon Museum. Between the harbour and Whitehaven’s old mines is a museum telling you all you need to know about the town and wider Copeland region.
- The Rum Story. In the 18th century Whitehaven was the main port for the UK’s rum trade, and this cavernous Georgian wine merchant’s shop on Lowther Street chronicles the country’s riveting and often dark relationship with this spirit.

About. Whitehaven is a must for the discerning visitor. Once one of the busiest ports in England, its businesses were major players in the rum and ship building market. The highly recommended Rum Story shows how the town prospered but also illuminates the dark side to the business - the slave trade.
