If heading north along the coast towards Sellafield follow the track on the seaward side of the railway all the way up to the Calder, then it's a loop under the railway and over the River

The first 5 or so mile has a good purpose built cycleway / path which has not real climbs, like a steady blue graded trail. This allows you to quickly get some distance in and provides for a quite quick trail

Very old church: the current choir dates from the time of King Henry I (early 12th century). In the base of some walls there are indications that an earlier version of this church was already built in the 5th century. That would mean that it would have been founded by those who first evangelized this region in Celtic times (St. Ninian, d. 432, or St. Aidan, c. 651). Much later (unknown when, but at the latest at the time of the Reformation, i.e. in the 16th century) the church came into the possession of the monks of the abbey of Calder, about 10 kilometers further south.

Fragment of the bed of the former railway line from Whitehaven (on the west coast, slightly north of Saint-Bees Head, the starting point of the Coast to Coast) to Ennerdale. It is now a tarmac cycle path, built by the West Cumbria Groundwork Trust, with many references to its railway past along the way. Also a nice route for the walker.

Seascale beach is a pretty stretch of shoreline with views over the Irish Sea. On clear days, you may even see the distant hills of Galloway. The beach was popular with holiday makers during the Victorian era as the Furness Railway brought city folk to the beach to enjoy the fresh air. Today, the beach is popular with anglers and kite surfers.
