The Cumbria Coastal Way (CCW) is a 298km/182 mile long distance footpath (LDP) allowing users to travel from Cumbria's southern border to just north of the English–Scottish border. It follows some interesting scenery such as the red sandstone cliffs of St. Bees Head.

Officially opened in the early 1990s this footpath starts at Silverdale just across the border in Lancashire, where it joins the Lancashire Coastal Way. From there it works its way around Morecambe Bay, along coast to and through Barrow-in-Furness and then north passing Seascale to the lighthouse at St. Bees Head, the most western tip of Cumbria. It then continues north along the coast past the coastal towns of Whitehaven, Workington and Maryport to Grune Point before heading east for Carlisle

Mobile Digital Mapping
Digital maps can be viewed on most modern smartphones using an appropriate app, downloaded from the app store associated with your device. Brigantes recommend that whichever app you use, it should support Ordnance Survey 1:25k or 1:50k scale maps. There are many apps to choose from, but the two main providers are Ordnance Survey and Memory Map.

Each provider’s app has its own benefits, but both provide all-important offline navigation, meaning your device does not need a mobile signal to work effectively on the trail.
