Renting a Car at Whitehaven

Local Car Rental And Van Hire In Whitehaven, Cumbria

The town and port of Whitehaven is on the Cumbrian coast, served by the A595 Road. Whitehaven lies close to the Sellafield Nuclear Reprocessing site, the main employer in the area, although Whitehaven's industrial heritage comes from the exporting of coal and importing of cotton, sugar, cocoa and coffee. The harbour area underwent extensive renovation in 2002-2003 and now incorporates a marina, and is the main tourist attraction in the town, where a maritime festival featuring tall ships and a range of entertainment takes place every two years. Whitehaven has two railway stations, both on the Cumbrian Coast Line from Carlisle to Barrow-in-Furness. The town has a sizeable shopping centre along King Street and Strand Street, with high street names represented alongside smaller independent retailers. Whitehaven is a good base for those wishing to visit the Lake District National Park. Loweswater and Buttermere are only 20 miles away and Keswick just seven miles further on. Ornithologists stay in the town due to its proximity to the RSPB nature reserve at St Bees Head.
