The ward in west Cumberland brings together the small market town area around Egremont North and the coastal village of St Bees. St Bees Head offers dramatic red sandstone cliffs and an RSPB seabird colony, and the village is the traditional starting point for Wainwright’s Coast to Coast walk, while Egremont is noted for its Norman-era Egremont Castle ruins and the long‑running Crab Fair.
Locally the economy is a mix of tourism, local services and residual industry, with the nearby Sellafield site historically shaping employment patterns; an industrial past in mining and manufacturing has left a distinct working‑class community feel. Socially the area combines coastal village life and rural hinterland, with active community events, walkers and birdwatchers boosting visitor numbers in season.
