With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Maryport, 16 miles away, has to offer. Maryport Golf Club should be at the top of your to-do list here. Lake District Coast Aquarium and Maryport Maritime Museum are excellent attractions too. Situated 18 miles away, Windermere is another popular option. If you swing by, don’t miss Lake Windermere, World of Beatrix Potter and Bowness Pier.
