Maryport Aquarium

Highlight • Rest Area

Maryport Aquarium is a great place to discover the amazing underwater world of Cumbria’s seas and coasts. You can see over 2,000 specimens of native aquatic life in over 75 creative displays, and enjoy the views of the harbour and the Solway from the cafe. The aquarium also offers a nautical-themed playpark, a 14-hole mini golf course, and a gift shop. The aquarium is open 7 days a week, all year round (excluding Christmas Day and Boxing Day) from 10 am to 5 pm. The admission prices are £11 for adults, £7 for children, £10 for seniors, and free for under 3s. You can also buy a 12-month membership for £21. If you are looking for a fun and educational day out in the Lake District, Maryport Aquarium is a good choice.

The Harbourside Café

Highlight • Cafe

A great little café attached to the aquarium overlooking the harbour in Maryport. I had a cheese and onion toastie and a can of pop to cool me down whilst walking the coast path.

Maryport History Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Along Maryport's South Quay stands the impressive Alauna Aura, an elliptical steel sculpture that illuminates the city's past—literally. With cutouts that reference its Roman roots (Alauna), maritime heritage, local industries, and iconic figures like Fletcher Christian, the artwork forms a visual timeline in metal. By day, the shapes cast dynamic shadows, while at night, the sculpture is bathed in a changing light show that brings history to life.

Ellenfoot Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Ellefoot Bridge—officially known as the Elizabeth Dock Bridge—is a pedestrian bridge in Maryport, Cumbria, built in 2007 across the middle of the harbor. The bridge was designed as a hydraulically lifting structure to accommodate both pedestrian and shipping traffic: at low tide it acts as a walkway, and at high tide it is raised to allow boats access to the harbor.

Maryport Harbour

Highlight • Structure

Maryport was founded in 1749 when Humphrey Senhouse started to develop the existing village of Ellenfoot into a bustling port, following the example set by Whitehaven. He named it after his wife, Mary.

It grew to be an industrial centre during the 19th century but suffered a decline in the mid 20th century. Today, it is a popular tourist spot, boasting an aquarium, yacht marina and museums.
