Best bike ride tour, exploring Maryport on wheels - tour of a historic town, taking in the stunning views, learning the history of the historic landmarks and visiting the places of entertainment around this quaint historic town. • --------------------------------------------------------------------- • The modern town of Maryport was the creation of the Senhouse family in the 18th century, who developed the small fishing village into a coal port. It has an aquarium, maritime museum, Roman museum and The Wave Arts and Sports centre. • Like Whitehaven , it was a planned town with terraces of cottages built on a grid system, with employment centering on coal mining and ship building. The history of the town can be explored at the Maritime Museum, the Senhouse Roman Museum, and in the harbour area. • The Lake District Coast Aquarium is on the harbour. • The Wave Maryport is an entertainment, conference, and community centre in the heart of Maryport's historic harbour area. • Maryport was the site of a Roman port, built to complement the harbour at Ravenglass to the south. A nearby fort, dating from the 5th century, was one of a series of fortifications constructed by the Romans in this area. Many of the Roman remains are now in the Senhouse Roman Museum, once a Royal Naval Reserve Station. • --------------------------------------------------------------------- • For more explore videos like this one, click the link below to go directly to the channel. • / @exploringwithant8938 • To follow me and see amazing and beautiful pictures from the places i visit click the link below to my Instagram. • / exploringwithant • --------------------------------------------------------------------- • #exploringwithant #exploring #maryport #cumbria #explore #exploration #history #historic #historictown #seaside #seasidetown #bestbiketour #besttowntour #bestbikeride
