Welcome to St Bees

St Bees is a small coastal village located in the county of Cumbria, England. The village is situated on the west coast of Cumbria, between the towns of Whitehaven and Egremont. St Bees is known for its beautiful beach, which is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The beach is a long stretch of sand and pebbles, and is backed by cliffs and grassy areas. The village is also home to St Bees School, a prestigious independent school that was founded in the 16th century.

St Bees is steeped in history, and there are many interesting landmarks and buildings to explore in the village. One of the most notable landmarks is St Bees Priory, a medieval church that dates back to the 12th century. The priory is a Grade I listed building, and is known for its impressive architecture and beautiful stained glass windows. Another interesting building in the village is St Bees Head Lighthouse, which was built in 1822 and is still in operation today.

St Bees is also a popular destination for walkers and hikers, as the village is located on the famous Coast to Coast Walk. The walk is a 192-mile trail that runs from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay, and takes in some of the most stunning scenery in the UK. The trail passes through the Lake District National Park, the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and the North York Moors National Park, and is a must-do for anyone who loves the great outdoors.
