Directions to the start →

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.

THE SMALL PRINTLand at Ennerdale Road, Maryport (CA15 8HN) is listed under Cumberland Council Public Spaces Protection Order (No. 1) 2024 both as a Schedule B dogs-on-lead area and, for its play area, as a Schedule C dog exclusion area. Camp Road (CA15 6JL) and Bank End Cemetery, Allonby Road are also restricted. Breach is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
