In the 18th century Whitehaven was Britain's third biggest port. Today, Whitehaven no longer has a mining industry, has a small fishing fleet and its harbour is a conservation area.
Visit The Beacon which offers an insight into the history of the town and harbour using audio-visual presentations and exciting displays. On the fourth floor is the Weather Gallery full of high-tech equipment that monitors and records the weather.
Go and see the winding gear and engine house of the Haig Colliery Mining Museum. Haig was the town's last deep pit, bringing coal from several miles under the sea.
