With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Maryport, 20 miles away, has to offer. Maryport Golf Club should be toward the top of your list here. Lake District Coast Aquarium and Maryport Maritime Museum are excellent attractions too. Situated 30 miles away, Carlisle is another popular tourist destination. If you swing by, make sure you check out The Sands Centre, Bitts Park and Carlisle Castle.
