Below Dent Fell, the town is on the 190 miles (310 km) Coast to Coast Walk that spans Northern England. On the outskirts of the town lies the village of Cleator. It was populated by Irish immigrants in the latter half of the nineteenth century to work in the mines and otherwise, leading to the colloquial title of Little Ireland.
