Workington is a town, civil parish and port at the mouth of the River Derwent on the west coast of Cumbria, England. Historically in Cumberland and lying in the Borough of Allerdale, Workington is 32 miles (51.5 km) southwest of Carlisle, 7 miles (11.3 km) west of Cockermouth, and 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Maryport.
Workington is the seat of Allerdale Borough Council. Sue Hayman is the MP for the constituency of the same name that includes other towns in Workington's hinterland. Workington lies astride the River Derwent, on the West Cumbrian coastal plain. It is bounded to the west by the Solway Firth, part of the Irish Sea, and by the Lake District fells to the east.
The Cumbria iron ore field lies to the south of Workington, and produced extremely high grade phosphorus-free haematite. The area had a long tradition of iron smelting, but this became particularly important with the invention by Sir Henry Bessemer of the Bessemer process, the first process for mass production of mild steel, which previously had been an expensive specialist product.
Workington is linked by the A596 road to Maryport, to Whitehaven via A595 road, by the A66 road to Penrith and continues to Scotch Corner in County Durham. The town has bus connections to other towns and villages in Cumbria, such as Cockermouth, Keswick, Penrith, Carlisle, Wigton, Maryport, Whitehaven, Frizington, Egremont and Thornhill. The Cumbrian Coast Line provides rail connections from Workington railway station to Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness, with occasional through trains to Lancaster and Preston.
Workington is home to three theatres. The Carnegie Theatre, Theatre Royal and the Workington Opera House. In the past Workington was a big town for variety acts and theatre and hosted many top acts including Tommy Cooper and Shirley Bassey. Workington Opera House has also hosted many circus shows which included elephants and other circus animals performing on stage.

Places to see in ( Ulverston - UK )
Places to see in ( Ulverston - UK )
Ulverston is a market town in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria in North West England. Historically in Lancashire, the town is in the Furness area 8 miles north-east of Barrow-in-Furness. Ulverston is close to the Lake District, and just north of Morecambe Bay, neighboured by Swarthmoor, Pennington and Rosside.
Ulverston's most visible landmark is Hoad Monument, a concrete structure built in 1850 to commemorate statesman and local resident Sir John Barrow. The monument provides views of the surrounding area, including Morecambe Bay and parts of the Lake District. Ulverston Canal, no longer navigable, was once a vital component of the town's economy and is still celebrated with an art installation.
Ulverston is a comparatively large civil parish. It is bounded in the east by the Leven estuary, Crake, Coniston Water and Yewdale Beck. To the west the boundary follows a chain of hills, and beyond that lie the towns of Kirkby-in-Furness and Askam and Ireleth. To the south is relatively low land, which rises quickly. In the north are hills such as Coniston Old Man. The settlements of the parish are mainly concentrated in the eastern part.
Ulverston railway station, which serves the town, is located on the Furness Line from Barrow-in-Furness to Lancaster, ultimately leading on to Manchester Airport. The railway station is a short walk from the town centre. The town is also served by several bus services. These include the X6, running to Kendal from Barrow-in-Furness, via Grange over Sands. The X 12 runs from Coniston and passes through the village of Spark Bridge. Other services include the X 31 to Tarn Hows and the 6A and 6 to Barrow-in-Furness, the largest town in the region.
Ulverston calls itself a 'festival town' in reference to the many and varied festivals which take place in Ulverston over the course of the year. The most renowned of these is the Lantern Festival, which involves hundreds of local residents creating lanterns out of willow and tissue paper and parading them throughout the town in winding rivers of light. The annual event culminates in a lively display of theatrical performance and fireworks in Ford Park, and was organised entirely by the community themselves for the first time in 2008.
Other popular festivals include:
Flag Festival
Dickensian Festival
Beer Festival
Charter Festival
International Music Festival
Furness Tradition
Comedy Festival
Word Market—including 'Pub Scripts'
Walking Festival
Spring Buddhist Festival
Print Fest
Summer Buddhist Festival
Ulverston Carnival Parade

Carlisle (Cumbria, UK)
Filmed in February 2018
The City of Carlisle is a local government district of Cumbria, England, with the status of a city and non-metropolitan district. It is named after its largest settlement, Carlisle, aka Carlizzle, but covers a far larger area which includes the towns of Brampton and Longtown, as well as outlying villages including Dalston, Scotby and Wetheral. The city has a population of 107,524 and an area of 1,039.97 square kilometres (402 sq mi), making it the largest city in England by area (although the majority of its territory is not urbanised, but rural).
The current city boundaries were set as part of the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, and cover an amalgamation of two former local government districts—the City and County Borough of Carlisle and the Border Rural District of Cumberland. The City of Carlisle shares a border with Scotland (to the north), and is bounded on the southwest by the borough of Allerdale, and on the south by the district of Eden. The county of Northumberland is to the east.
Although the present boundaries date to the 20th century, the city traces its origins to a 1st-century Roman outpost associated with Hadrian's Wall. The Brythonic settlement that expanded from this outpost was destroyed by the Danes in 875. Thereafter the region formed part of the Southern Uplands of Scotland, until colonised under King William II of England in 1092. William II built Carlisle Castle, which houses a military museum. Carlisle Cathedral, founded in the 12th century, is one of the smallest in England.
A border city, and the second most northerly city in England, Carlisle predominantly spans the flood plain of the River Eden. Commercially, it is linked to the rest of England via the M6 motorway, and to the Scottish Lowlands via the A74(M) and M74 motorways.
Карла́йл (ранее Карлейль, Carlisle) — город на крайнем северо-западе Англии, столица графства Камбрия (Кумберланд, Камберленд). Карлайл находится всего в 16 км от границы с Шотландией. Расположен при слиянии 3 рек: Иден, Колдью и Петтерил.
Карлайл имеет исторический центр, включающий замок, построенный Вильгельмом (Вильямом) Рыжим, музей, собор и оригинально выполненные городские стены.
У Карлайла интересная судьба. Одно время он был самым близким к границе с Шотландией английским городом. А иногда — самым близким к границе с Англией шотландским городом. Сейчас Карлайл входит в состав Англии.
Начало Карлайлу положило римское укреплённое поселение Лугувалл (англ. Luguvalium). Это название сокращено саксами в Luel, к которому приставлено Caer (город); отсюда и произошло современное название. В IX в город был разрушен датчанами и восстановлен Вильгельмом Рыжим.
Карлайл — индустриальный город с XIX и начала XX века. Этот город специализируется на текстильной и пищевой промышленности.
Карлайл приобрёл известность в связи с т. н. «проклятием Карлайла». Впервые это проклятие прочитал архиепископ Глазго в 1525 году. В то время граница Англии и Шотландии, проходившая в районе Карлайла, была зоной, где ни одна из этих стран не могла обеспечить порядок. Посетивший эту местность тогдашний Папа Римский назвал её «самым беззаконным местом на земле». Когда Папа отбыл, архиепископ Gavin Dunbar проклял всех местных разбойников, промышлявших кражей скота, насилием и грабежами.
В ходе подготовки к празднованию Милленниума муниципальный совет решил установить в городе камень со старинным проклятием в адрес злодеев. Дизайн памятника выполнил художник Andy Altman. Проклятие на староанглийском языке длиной в 1069 слов высечено в гранитном монолите, который весит 14 тонн. В 2001 году камень установили в одном из музеев Карлайла. (По другим источникам, надпись была выгравирована в том же XVI веке, а в 2001 году камень с окраины Карлайла перевезли в центр города и сделали центральным экспонатом музейной «Выставки тысячелетия»)
В марте 2005 года Джим Тутл, член городского совета от либеральных демократов внёс предложение убрать камень из города или совсем ликвидировать. Основанием послужило мнение местных жителей, что этот камень навлек на их город множество несчастий: после установки камня Карлайл пострадал от эпидемии ящура, его жители гибли в наводнениях и массово теряли работу, и даже местная футбольная команда пришла в упадок. Грэхам Доу, протестантский епископ Карлайлский, поддержал мнение местных жителей.
Решением собрания городского совета 8 марта 2005 года это предложение было отклонено.
