Maryport Coastal Park and Bank End

North along the promenade from the sea wall car park onto the grassland of the coastal park at Bank End, then back on the inland path below the Roman fort site. It is short, open and entirely on made surfaces and grass, with the Solway on one side and Criffel across the water, and it is where most of Maryport walks its dogs. The seaward grass is unfenced above a shingle shore, so a dog can get down to the water at several points. Cumberland Council designates Land at Ennerdale Road, at the southern end, as both a dogs-on-lead and a dog exclusion area, so read the signs before crossing the grass there.

Livestock — leads on Off-lead allowed

Three and three quarter miles and about an hour and a half on level ground, out of Maryport's Georgian harbour along the King Charles III England Coast Path past the Roman fort headland and back through the town. It starts on the harbourside by the marina, where the parking is free and plentiful even in summer, and Maryport station is five minutes inland on the Cumbrian Coast line. The clifftop section above the fort is short grass with wide Solway views and the promenade is surfaced the whole way, which makes it a good winter option; the headland fields are grazed, the seaward edge is low but unfenced, and the beach and promenade come under a Cumberland Council dog control order whose signed months are posted at the access points.

The long shore walk north from Maryport promenade past Bank End, the raised beach below Swarthy Hill and the Crosscanonby saltpans, to the green at Allonby. It is mostly on the shingle and the grass above it with the coast road never far inland, and at low water there is firm sand almost the whole way. The Solway views to Criffel and the Galloway hills are the point of it. Grazing runs down to the shore in places on the Crosscanonby stretch. Buses run back from Allonby to Maryport.

Livestock — leads on

Inland from the bridge at Ellenfoot, following the River Ellen east past Netherhall and through the low farmland of the valley to the village of Dearham. It is the sheltered option when the wind is off the Solway and the promenade is unbearable, and the river bank holds trees for most of the way. Field sections are grazed and there are gates rather than stiles on the main line of the path. Turn at Dearham and come back, or catch the bus from the village.

Off-lead allowed

South from Elizabeth Dock on the shore path between the Cumbrian Coast railway and the Solway, past the old colliery ground to the sea wall at Flimby. It is flat, wide and open, with shingle and firm sand at low water for most of the distance, and it is one of the few walks near Maryport where a dog can be off the lead on a beach for over a mile at a stretch. The railway is fenced but very close in places and there is no shade whatsoever. Return along the shore or take the train back one stop.
