Millom Heritage & Arts Centre — Attraction in Millom

A great place to visit and get reminded of the former international importance of this now poor, dreary and forgotten little town. Hopefully the promise of much-needed and deserved inward investment/development will help to reverse the decline in the fortunes of this Cumbrian community. The Heritage Centre/Museum is extremely informative and full of interesting industrial history. Furthermore, the volunteer staff are very helpful and enthusiastic. Allow 2-3 hours for your visit: it's also a wonderful place to shelter if a rainy day,(of which we have many here in Cumbria!),threatens to spoil your visit to this area.

Great little museum right next to the train station in Millom. Lots to see and read about the history of the town. Nice little gift shop, and it's free, donations welcome.
