White Park is a picturesque woodland located in Cumberland, a county in the northwestern region of England. Covering an expansive area, the park is known for its dense forest of towering white oak trees, which lend the park its name. The woodland is a haven for nature enthusiasts and offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The park boasts an array of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and various species of birds, making it a popular spot for birdwatching and nature photography. Walking trails wind their way through the forest, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the park's natural beauty at their own pace. The trails are well-maintained and suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

In addition to its natural splendor, White Park also features several amenities for visitors. There are picnic areas scattered throughout the park, where families and friends can enjoy a leisurely meal surrounded by the tranquil atmosphere. The park also has a visitor center, providing information about the local flora and fauna, as well as hosting educational programs and events.

White Park is open year-round, allowing visitors to experience the changing seasons and witness the park's stunning autumn colors or the vibrant blooms of spring. The park is easily accessible by car and offers ample parking facilities. It is a must-visit destination for those seeking a tranquil retreat in the heart of Cumberland's woodland beauty.

Whitehaven Tunnel
The north entrance of Whitehaven Tunnel; the end of the platform ramp of Platform 2 of Whitehaven Station (photograph NX9718 : Platform 2, Whitehaven Station) is visible in the right foreground (see also photographs NX9718 : Whitehaven Tunnel and NX9718 : Air Shaft No.5, Whitehaven Tunnel). The small antenna visible at the crown of the brick arch is to permit two way communication with trains in the tunnel. The England Coast Path and National Cycle Route 72 pass over the flat roofed section of the tunnel in the foreground.
England Coast Path At this point the England Coast Path follows a minor road that runs along land previously occupied by railway tracks serving William Pit.  The substantial stone abutment supported a bridge over the Cumbrian Coast Line (originally the Whitehaven Junction Railway) which carried a tubway and a standard gauge railway track leading from William Pit to a spoil heap on the sea shore.
The Cumbrian Coast Line runs between the metal palisade fences.
