Workington is town of (currently) more then 20,000 residents located on the Irish Sea coast of Cumbria (formerly “Cumberland”), a short train ride from Carlisle and Scotland. It’s on the western edge of the legendary mountains of the “Lakes District” which is now a national park in the northwest corner of England. The western edge of Hadrian’s Wall started not far from Workington which has something of a Roman history as well. The town sits at the mouth of the river Derwent but back from the actual shoreline where a number of railyards, warehouses, and a small port separate the town center from the sea.
