Seascale

(See also Grey Croft Stone Circle)

Seascale was, in Victorian times, a seaside resort. It still has a beach, and walks lead into the nearby countryside, but the village is dominated by its three nuclear power plants. Sellafield Nuclear Plant is the best known of the three and has a visitor centre with displays on nuclear power.

Just north of Seascale is Greycroft Stone Circle.
