Shopping • Food and Drink • Nightlife
There is ample parking for your vehicle, leaving you time to take a leisurely walk around the town. Alternatively the harbour and marina have lots to offer for an interesting day out. The main shopping area has recently undergone extensive enhancement to compliment the wide range of locally run shops, some unique to Maryport, and each Friday a market in the town centre.
Maryport is a well-preserved example of a Georgian planned town. Pay a visit to Fleming Square - a charming cobbled square with large, mainly Georgian houses.
Maryport has a wide range of hotels, cafes, restaurants, takeaways and pubs, which offer something for everyone.
Over the years Maryport has put itself on the map by hosting Music Festivals throughout the summer - Punk, Sixties, Sea Shanties and Blues music, plus much more.
