Wonderful images and words, Angie. You’re right about these areas of Cumbria being neglected because of the Lake District, I did a trip a few years ago, a little bit south of where you walked, and the coast was stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely worth the short drive for me: you have enticed me to follow in your footsteps with your wonderful words and gorgeous images!
I live within two miles of the sea, yet – living in Cumbria – nearly always venture inland. This is a timely reminder that the county features a lot more than just big ’ills! Thank you!
In the past Cumbria was definitely synonymous with the Lake District for us, as I am sure it is for many people. Our numerous visits were all about fell-walking - even when it was becoming an ordeal for me.
These days my knees prefer gentler strolls, and we much prefer the quiet solitude and abundant nature to be found in less populated locations. Though of course the big 'ills are still very special :-)

Thanks so much, Dave - I will really miss this stretch of coast!
I love that you are writing about and appreciating the wild beauty of these places from my childhood.
How wonderful to have grown up here - I am surprised by how much I love it :-)
I took it for granted as children do. But I was always outdoors. I love to visit now.
You are bringing alive the delights of a coast that I previously thought was ’boring’.
Yes, I must admit that I did too. These days I rather like boring, lol :-)
Appreciate you sharing such lovely photos and writing about your walk.
I'm too far away for a walk in Cumbria which is a shame, because that looks like the kind of place I would enjoy walking.
Thanks so much for your kind comment :-)
