The shore north of Workington harbour below the old Oldside steelworks slag banks: shingle, rock and firm sand at low water, running up towards Siddick with the Solway open in front and Criffel across the water in Scotland. There is no seasonal dog ban here. Cumberland Council's dog control order lists no beach in the county as either an exclusion area or a dogs-on-lead area, so the sand is open to dogs off the lead all year, which is a genuine finding rather than an omission. It is unpatrolled, there is no lifeguard, and the currents at the mouth of the Derwent are strong, so keep a swimming dog well south of the harbour entrance.

Nobody has written one for Workington Beach at Oldside. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Read by a human before it appears. We never publish your email, and the business can reply underneath but can never take a review down.
