Maryport, Coastal town in Cumbria, England
Maryport lies at the northern edge of the Cumbrian Lake District, featuring a harbor area along the Solway Estuary with coastal paths and beaches.
The Romans established a fort called Alauna in 122, which served as a command base for coastal defenses at the western end of Hadrian's Wall.
The Senhouse Roman Museum contains ancient altar stones and artifacts, presenting the military and civilian life during the Roman occupation of Britain.
The town connects to major routes through the A596 road, positioned 6 miles north of Workington and 26 miles southwest of Carlisle.
The settlement changed its name from Ellenfoot when Humphrey Senhouse developed it as a port and renamed it after his wife Mary.
