Only 5½ miles from the border of the Lake District National Park, this coastline stretches south from the 18th century harbour of Whitehaven towards the sandstone cliffs of St Bees Head.

The site of England's first under-sea coalmine, Whitehaven had the deepest mines in the world by the 1730s. The last working pit here closed in 1986. The local community have succeeded in securing the funding to open it as a museum to Whitehaven's mining heritage.

Well preserved Neolithic long barrow
Overall Rating:

An excellent example of a Neolithic long barrow, located on Salisbury Plain, a few miles from Stonehenge. This was our first purely archaeological purchase.

The archaeologist William Cunnington first described the barrow. The archaeological remains provide information about the Neolithic beliefs, economy and environment. It's one of a number of long barrows in the area two of which are visible from White Barrow.

The name comes from the colour of the chalk from which it is made. Bronze or Iron Age earthworks can also be seen at the site.
