Maryport
The town and civil parish of Maryport is in the Allerdale borough of Cumbria in England. Historically in Cumberland, it lies on the A596 road roughly 6 miles (10 kilometres) north of Workington, and is the southernmost town on the Solway Firth. The town of Silloth lies 12 miles (19 kilometres) to the north on the B5300 coast road, which goes through the villages of Allonby, Mawbray, Beckfoot, and Blitterlees. The county town of Carlisle lies 28 mi (45 kilometres) to the north-east. Maryport train station is on the Cumbrian Coast Line. The town is in the parliamentary constituency of Workington. Maryport lies at the northern end of the former Cumberland Coalfield. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11262 people. The economy of the region and the emergence of the industrial capability of the town itself emerged mostly as a result of mining and sea trade, but these markets have actually subsequently declined and the town now relies on tourism as the basis of its economy. There is an aquatic museum, a maritime museum and a Roman museum. The Roman museum is home to a number of Roman artefacts, most especially a series of altars to Jupiter Optimus Maximus, which were excavated in the vicinity of the Roman fort. In July 2008, a new tourist location, the Wave Centre, opened its doors. The Wave Centre is a theatre and conference space, an interactive heritage exhibit on the regional history of Maryport, the Tourist Information Centre for Maryport and a gift shop and dining area. Dunmail Park is a shopping centre that includes a grocery store and multiplex cinema, and Workington town centre also has a wide variety of shops. For all your home improvements, make certain to identify reputable contractors in Maryport to make certain of quality.
