Allerdale

The district stretches from the Solway Coast to the northern Lake District, encompassing both coastal areas and mountainous landscapes within its boundaries.

Allerdale Borough was established in 1974 through the merger of Workington municipal borough, Maryport, Cockermouth, Keswick urban districts, and rural regions.

The district maintains numerous sports facilities, theaters, and community centers that support local arts programs and recreational activities throughout its towns.

Residents access council services through Allerdale House in Workington, which manages waste collection, housing benefits, and planning applications for the region.

The name Allerdale originates from ancient Cumberland wards, divided into Allerdale-above-Derwent and Allerdale-below-Derwent, reflecting medieval administrative divisions.
