Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

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 SMALL PRINTLeads across the grazed headland fields by the Roman fort and along the harbourside, which is working quay. The beach and promenade are covered by a Cumberland Council dog control order - check the signed months at the access points.
