The small town of Millom in historic Cumberland, England, sits on the Duddon Estuary at the southern edge of the Lake District National Park, acting as a quiet gateway to coastal dunes and salt marshes. It expanded rapidly in the 19th century around local iron‑ore mining and an ironworks, so the streets still carry traces of that industrial past alongside a more rural, seaside character.
Millom has a rail link on the Cumbrian Coast Line and a small heritage scene that recalls its mining history and celebrates the poet Norman Nicholson, who wrote about the local landscape. Nearby Haverigg offers a long sandy beach and nature reserve, and after the mid‑20th century closures of pits and works the town now mixes commuting, tourism and local services within the Borough of Copeland in Cumbria.
