West Cumbria Coastal Plain, Western Mixed
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
This area is located on the western coast of Cumbria, extending from Maryport in the north to Barrow-in-Furness in the South. The area forms a narrow coastal strip, which covers a total area of nearly 50,000 hectares and includes both coastal landscapes and features associated with its industrial developments. The area is largely rural in character, with around 10% of the land being urban. The area has little woodland (4.4%) and just under 8% of the area is designated as either a National Nature Reserve (NNR) (1%), or Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) (7%).
