This little coastal village on the southern outskirts of the Lake District National Park frames the northern banks of the estuary that leads to the River Duddon. Millom Museum provides a glimpse into its past, with a reproduction of a drift mine paying homage to its iron and steel operations. Attractions in the area include the South Lakes Safari Zoo, Black Combe for scenic hikes, and Sandscale Haws, a National Nature Reserve with an amazing dune ecosystem that is home to a variety of species.
