St Bees
A Cumbrian Coastal Village
Welcome to St Bees - the red sandstone village on the Cumbrian coast
The village of St Bees is just south of St Bees Head, the most westerly point of Cumbria, 50 miles from the Scottish border. It's a small, friendly community with a population of about 1,800. It has a history going back 1,000 years and has been a popular holiday destination for over 150 years.
It's well known for the Norman Priory dating from 1120 dedicated to our own Saint Bega (see logo above), for the 400 year-old St Bees School and as the start of the Wainwright "Coast to Coast" Walk.
There is a large sandy beach with a promenade and visitor facilities, and to the north are the towering red sandstone cliffs of St Bees Head; which is the only Heritage Coast between Scotland and Wales and an important seabird reserve.
Only a few miles from the Lake District National Park, St Bees enjoys easy access to the the Lakes without the crowds of the more popular areas. It's an ideal base from which to tour both the Western Lakes and the many attractions along the west coast.
