Seascale is a small attractive seaside resort, significantly enhanced in Victorian times by the introduction of the Furness Railway in the 1850's. Rich in history, the village can trace its origins back to an early Norse settlement and to Roman Britain.
Nearby is the Sellafield Nuclear Site, with the world's first commercial nuclear power station, Calder Hall, and the controversial reprocessing plant.
The Seascale area of Cumbria includes the Sellafield, Calder Bridge, Gosforth, Drigg, and Holmrook areas. Eskdale and Wasdale are in the Eskdale category. Muncaster is in the Ravenglass category.
