Castle Hill – historic viewpoint above Maryport. Castle Hill is located at the end of High Street and offers one of the finest views of Maryport, the harbor, and the Solway Firth. In the 12th century, a Norman motte-and-bailey castle stood here, later replaced by a Georgian manor house built in 1785 by Captain William Currey. Since 1937, the building has served as a community center under the name The Settlement. The sign at the entrance proclaims it all: "possibly the best view in Maryport"—and that's not an empty promise.
