An established town steeped in a rich tapestry of history, Workington sits gracefully at the mouth of the River Derwent. First mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter in 946, this charming destination is the perfect blend of past, present, and future. From relics of ancient Roman defenses to a history boasting of coal and steel production or even the intrigue of the local traditional Uppie and Downie ball game, there's always a story to be unravelled here.

Workington also prides itself on its cultural side. With three theatres - the opulent Carnegie Theatre, the historic Theatre Royal, and the intimate Workington Opera House, there’s always the chance to indulge in a bit of the arts. Not to mention the myriad of modern amenities, from the award-winning Washington Square shopping complex to its connections to a burgeoning nuclear industry and computer recycling services.

This town isn't just about work, though. Getting around or out of Workington couldn't be easier with efficient road networks and a well-run railway station providing connections to farther cities such as Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Lancaster, and Preston. Sports enthusiasts can embrace the spirit of the local football or rugby league teams, both competing at non-league levels, adding to the inclusive community feel of the town.
