Maryport Wellbeing Walkers will meet on alternate Wednesday mornings at 10.30 am outside the Lake District Coast Aquarium, South Quay, Maryport, CA15 8AB for easy walks in the harbour and promenade area with spectacular views across the Solway Firth to the Galloway Coast on clear days. Promenade walks are wheelchair accessible. Other walks may involve a few steps or short inclines. Walks range from 1 to 3 miles (1-1.5 hours), but can be shortened depending on the needs of the group, and the weather. The Promenade walk is suitable for all ages. Some free parking available near the Aquarium, otherwise Pay & Display on the South Quay (up to 2 hours £1.60, 4 hours £2.50). Public transport: Maryport railway station is approx. 1 mile from the Aquarium. The nearest bus stop is on Senhouse Street about 400 yards from the Aquarium. Toilets and refreshments are available at the aquarium. Wear comfortable flat shoes and clothing according to the weather. Walk leader Christine Slater, phone/text 07723016110 or email c.slater417@btinternet.com for more information or to register for the walk.
Easy walk from the aquarium to the Gazebo about half-way along the Promenade, with spectacular views of Scotland across the Solway Firth on a clear day. Hard surface and no inclines. Option for some people to walk to the end of the Prom, while the rest have a rest at the Gazebo. Plenty of rest stops available. Suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
Maximum 3 miles, 90 minutes to the end of the Prom.
Shorter version: 1.6 miles. 60 minutes.
Time depends on how often we stop to look at the views, and how long we spend at the Gazebo.
Wildlife interest: Watch out for birds on the shore (oyster catchers, red shanks and ringed plovers), depending on the tide.
