If you are staying in Millom, in fact if you are staying Cumbria, you should make a trip to the Beggars theatre run by the amazingly lovely Jakki Moore. My Mum attends a writing class there too. We have just see the celebration of Simon and Garfunkel and it was sensational. Brilliant venue, superb atmosphere. Everything about this place is top notch. It is what entertainment is about.

The mining being responsible for the rapid growth of the village of Holborn Hill into the town of Millom by more than doubling the size of the settlement.

Although the weather was atrocious, the aftermath of Storm Dennis, we really enjoyed our visit to the Discovery Centre. My father grew up in the town before moving down to Kent in the 60’s. Staying in Carlisle on a short break it was a good opportunity to take my 10 year old son to see where his grandad spent his formative years and also to give him an insight into five generations of family history in Millom and the surrounding area. The displays were fantastic and interactive, I especially enjoyed the explanation of what it was like to be a miner in Hodbarrow and the conditions that they had to endure, my great great grandfather was killed whilst working in Hodbarrow mine. I haven’t visited Millom for thirteen years and won’t do again (the distance involved etc) and no immediate family but this made the trip so worthwhile, there was even a reference to my great uncle who was killed in action during World War I. A real insight into the history of this town and I hope they keep it going, we also bought a rock from Hodbarrow Mine which I will place with all my family history information . The staff were very friendly and helpful

Lovely reserve, easily accessible with many nice habitats to explore. Huge flocks of waders on the seaward side of the sea wall, more inside the reserve lagoon as well as numerous wildfowl flocks and birds of prey. The hide overlooks the lagoon and is a great place to stop for a while along the long seawall. The inland side of the reserve has more diverse habitats with woodland, scrub ponds to explore and search for toads, dragonflies and newts. Quite open and can be cold but a terrific place to visit for a wildlife walk.
