Rental costs start at £2 for the first 20 minutes, and the Segway MAX models can move at up to 11mph with their use permitted on public highways in and around Whitehaven and some surrounding areas, including Westlakes Science Park.

New app celebrates Millom and Nicholson

Published: 29/03/2021

A NEW walking app inspired by the work of a Millom poet could bring culture-hungry visitors to the 'hidden gem' of a town.

The Norman Nicholson digital trail will take in routes that the poet himself would regularly walk.

The trails - there are currently two, with three more in the pipeline - are not just about Nicholson, and can be enjoyed by general visitors of all ages. It is hoped that people will enjoy the app in line with any current Covid-related restrictions.
