Workington and the places nearby.
Workington grew on coal, iron and steel, famously making rails for much of the world, and sits at the mouth of the River Derwent on the west Cumbrian coast. It keeps a strong working identity, with rugby league and the Uppies and Downies ball game part of local life. Housing is largely terraces and estates, and many residents work at Sellafield or in the energy sector. A plain, trustworthy website that names the surrounding villages suits a place where recommendations travel quickly.
Maryport (5 miles), Whitehaven (7 miles), Cockermouth (8 miles) and Cleator Moor (9 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Inside Workington, the site can name areas such as Harrington, Seaton, Salterbeck, Stainburn, Northside, Moorclose, Great Clifton and Distington.
From our base in Exeter, Workington is about 271 miles to the north. Its postcodes start CA.
