Beach chalets at Coulderton A Northern Rail service heads towards Carlisle above the line of beach chalets, many of which were occupied on a glorious spring weekend. Much of the beach here is pebbles but with patches of sand at low tide. Nethertown station is situated close to the isolated house in the distance.
