Navvies Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Navvies Bridge is a modern pedestrian and cycle bridge over the River Derwent in Workington, Cumbria, built in 2011 to replace an earlier bridge that was destroyed in the 2009 floods. The new bridge is designed as a twin-ribbed untied bowstring arch of steel, with a span of 84.8 metres and a deck width of 3 metres — almost double the width of the original bridge.

View of Siddick Ponds Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Siddick Ponds is a valuable nature reserve in Cumbria, designated as both a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The area comprises two large ponds—one freshwater and one brackish—surrounded by extensive reedbeds, creating a unique ecological combination within the region. This diverse habitat makes Siddick Ponds one of Cumbria's most important birdwatching areas, hosting a diverse community of bird species year-round.

River Derwent

Highlight • Natural

The River Derwent in Cumbria is one of the most iconic rivers in Northwest England, with a course that is both geographically and culturally significant. Rising at Sprinkling Tarn in the highlands of the Lake District, the river flows north through the Borrowdale valley, crossing Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake. It then turns west, passing through Cockermouth—where William Wordsworth grew up—and empties into the Irish Sea at Workington.

Millers Bridge (Cockermouth)

Highlight • River

Millers Bridge, also known as Harris Bridge, is a steel pedestrian bridge over the River Derwent in Cockermouth, Cumbria, connecting the northern and southern parts of the city. The original structure was destroyed by severe flooding in 2009, and the bridge was rebuilt in 2010 with modified foundations to address changes in the riverbank caused by erosion. The reopening by HRH The Princess Royal underscored the importance of this connection to the local community. As a functional infrastructure, the bridge not only provides pedestrian access but also views of the surrounding landscape.

Wordsworth House and Garden

Highlight • Monument

Wordsworth House rises majestically on Main Street in Cockermouth, a charming town on the edge of the Lake District. Built around 1745, the house reflects the understated grandeur of Georgian architecture: a perfectly symmetrical façade of sand-colored bricks, tall rectangular windows with classically framed woodwork, and an ornate yet understated doorway that evokes the sense of order and proportion characteristic of this period. The poet William Wordsmouth was born here in 1770.
