Maryport to Aspatria
Workington to Maryport
An easy, well-waymarked coastal walk following the England Coast Path with no significant gradients. The surface is largely a rough track, with some tarmacked alternatives, footbridges with the odd step and sections where the beach itself becomes the path. Passes under wind turbines along an under-visited stretch of coast. Follows the England Coast Path and National Cycle Route 72 between Maryport and Workington; well waymarked. No gates or stiles.
Coastal: almost all along the coast.
Time: 3h–5h30
Warnings: The beach sections at Flimby can be difficult to walk on; a clearly-waymarked high-tide route alongside the A596 offers easier walking.
