Kells and Sandwith lies on the outskirts of Whitehaven in West Cumberland, England, sitting near the Irish Sea and the moorland and coastal scenery that leads towards the Lake District. The patchwork of suburban streets and surrounding farmland gives a clear contrast between village life and the nearby harbour town.
The area has historic links to 19th- and 20th-century mining and maritime activity around Whitehaven, leaving a post-industrial character alongside traditional farming. Today the local economy is mixed - many people commute to larger employers such as Sellafield or work in services locally - and community life is focussed on village halls, churches and outdoor pursuits with good access for walkers and coastal paths.
