More about this scene

Set where the old county of Westmorland reaches down to the sea, this bracing small seaside resort and ship-building port enjoys splendid views of the fells at its back. In years gone by it was involved in the export of locally-manufactured gunpowder! Here a little Victorian girl poses among the rowing boats laid up on the beach.
