The Whitehaven hotels listed below are either
in the town or we have given a rough guide as to how far they
are from Whitehaven. We hope you enjoy your stay and find your
ideal accommodation.
Whitehaven is a Georgian town situated
on the west coast of Cumbria. Built on shipping and mining, both
industries have now declined, but Whitehaven is an attractive
town and is one of the 40 Gem Towns in England (the only other
in Cumbria being Cockermouth). Whitehaven has had a large grant
for regeneration of the harbour area for the millennium. It is
now host to many visits from Tall Ships. Whitehaven has over
250, mostly Georgian, Listed Buildings, many tastefully restored,
including St James' Church, once described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner
as 'the finest Georgian church interior in the county'. The tourist
information centre, in the Market Place, is itself one of the
town's many listed buildings. Also see Whitehaven
