Map of the UK

Seaton sits on the north‑west coast of historic Cumberland, a short drive from Workington and close to the mouth of the River Derwent. The parish occupies low‑lying coastal ground with dunes and salt marsh backed by arable farmland, making it a quiet spot for walkers and a handy, less crowded gateway to the nearby Lake District.

Historically shaped by fishing, farming and the ripple effects of industry in neighbouring towns, the village today mixes traditional stone cottages with newer homes and a small, active community life centred on the church, village hall and local events; many residents commute while others work in agriculture or tourism, and traces of coastal and wartime heritage can still be seen around the parish.
