Cumbria tourist information. Whitehaven - Cumbria. Whitehaven This Georgian town, situated on the west coast of Cumbria, was one of the first post-renaissance planned towns in the country.
Built on shipping and mining, both industries have now declined, but Whitehaven is never-the-less an attractive town and is one of the 40 Gem Towns in England (the only other in Cumbria being Cockermouth). The development of Whitehaven owes much to the Lowther family, it was Sir John Lowther, inspired by Christopher Wren’s designs for rebuilding London after the Great Fire of 1666, who laid out the original grid system of streets and specified the type of houses to be built.
Many historians believe that New Yorks street system is inspired by Whitehavens grid system. On Flatt Walks, looking down Lowther Street is Sir John Lowther’s former home, known as ‘The Castle’ since the beginning of the 18th Century. The port development was linked to the exploitation of rich local deposits of coal and iron ore. Tourist Attractions : Related Links : Menu : Map Data Map. Ullswater and Aira Force.
