West Cumbrian beaches for sale

The chance to own a west Cumbrian beach has come up for grabs as two will go under the hammer at auctions next month.

The two 2.7mile stretches near Lowca and Flimby were owned by the Curwen family of Workington but are now being sold without a guide price.

The foreshores will still be open to the public as they have a right of way access but money can be made from the land.

The auction on behalf of the Curwen family will be held on Wednesday, April 17 at 6.30pm at Washington Central Hotel in Workington.
