Seascale is a coastal village and civil parish on the Irish Sea coast in Cumberland, England, noted for its long sandy beach, dunes and a Victorian promenade. It lies between St Bees and Ravenglass and is served by a station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, making it a quiet gateway to the western Lake District.
Historically a small fishing and farming community, the local economy and housing were transformed in the mid‑20th century by the nearby Sellafield complex, while tourism, walkers and birdwatchers visiting the fringes of the Lake District National Park also contribute. The parish retains a close-knit, village character with conservation of its shoreline and dune habitats alongside the practical legacy of industrial employment.
