Harrington is a small coastal ward in Cumberland, tucked on the Cumbrian coast between Workington and Whitehaven and on the fringe of the Lake District. Its shoreline faces the Irish Sea, giving the area coastal walks, sea views and a landscape that mixes low cliffs, old harbour works and more recent residential development.
Once focused on a busy local port, ironworking and mining, the ward still shows traces of that industrial past in former docklands and workers’ terraces. Since the decline of heavy industry it has become more residential and service‑oriented, with small businesses, holiday accommodation and a close‑knit community that values its maritime and industrial heritage while relying on nearby towns for broader services.
