The northern shores of the estuary that flows into the River Duddon are framed by this small coastal town on the southern edges of Lake District National Park. At the Millom Museum, you can learn about the town's history, and you can even see a replica of a drift mine, which was once used to extract iron ore for the town's steel mills. 'The Scutcher,' who used an iron bar and his own strength to halt the iron ore tubs, is memorialised by a statue in the town square. The writer Norman Nicholson, who once lived here, is honoured with a stained glass window in St. George's Church; nearby, the Holy Trinity Church features the peculiar "fish" window. The ruins of Millom Castle are worth exploring, and the nearby town of Haverigg boasts a Blue Flag beach, a restored lighthouse, and adventure playgrounds for kids. The 7-ton sculpture "Escape to Light," created by Josefina de Vasconcellos, can be found next to the Haverigg Inshore Rescue station as a tribute to the UK's Inshore Rescue Teams. South Lakes Safari Zoo, Black Combe for walks with breath-taking views, and Sandscale Haws, a National Nature Reserve with an outstanding dune habitat supporting a multitude of wildlife, are just a few of the attractions in the area. Lake District towns and villages like Grizedale, Ambleside, and Windermere are well worth exploring, as are the numerous hiking and biking trails in the region. Take a break and have some fun in Cumbria.
