With miles of windswept sandy beaches and views of the majestic Lake District fells, the Cumbrian coastline is where you’ll find some of the UK’s more wild and rugged seaside locations. These beaches are a world away from traditional resorts and appeal to those who want to escape the crowds this summer.
A stone’s throw away from the Lake District is Haverigg, a sleepy fishing village situated on the Duddon Estuary. With a population of less than 2,000 people, it’s a quiet place with a few cafes and pubs dotted around.
At the edge of the village pastel-coloured houses line Haverigg pool, a small river which flows through the village, creating that quintessential coastal feel. Fishing boats of various sizes are moored up along the bank as the river gives way to the sea.
