This former slate quarry in Snowdonia, Wales, features a stunning turquoise lake surrounded by steep cliffs and mountains, creating a breathtaking and surreal landscape.
Beautiful area on the tops of the slag banks overlooking Workington with the snow capped mountains on one side and the Irish Sea on the other. Good for a morning walk. Avoid walking on the clearly designated dangerous areas. Car parking at Solway Beach/Shore. Jesus Christ is even up their overlooking the town. Who needs Rio De Janeiro?
Gently sloping climb to the top and in this occasion a view not only over a large part of Workington but also Scotland and the Isle of Man. Free car park at the bottom and a sandy beach at low tide accessible from it. An enjoyable half hour walk there and back

Lovely spot in Workington to go for a walk.
Breathe taking place... amazing place for walk to clear your mind
A lovely place to walk and admire the fabulous views. We are so lucky to have such a beautiful area on our doorstep. It's just a shame that people don't pick up after their dogs up there. It would be so more enjoyable if you weren't watching every step.
