Description
For sale by Under the Hammer online auction on Wednesday 21st October 2026. Head over to our website to download the legal pack, register to bid and see more information.
A Freehold Section of Beach measuring approximately 3.79 acres at Flimby, near Maryport, occupying a stretch of the Cumbrian coastline with open views across the Solway Firth. The land is a coastal landholding rather than conventional residential accommodation and may appeal to buyers seeking an unusual freehold asset.
The seller has suggested a number of possible uses for the land, including film and television location hire, beach motorsport or horse gallop events, watersports, other temporary events, campervan stopovers and corporate social responsibility days. The seller has also referred to current onshore wind policy. Any such use would be subject to planning permission, licensing and all other necessary consents, and no income or return is implied or guaranteed.
The land is shown as Section 2 on the seller's plan of the Flimby foreshore, edged red, and a right of way is marked on the plan. Buyers should satisfy themselves as to the boundaries, access, tidal extent, rights of way, designations and any restrictions affecting the foreshore.
Flimby is a coastal village on the A596 between Maryport, around two and a half miles to the north, and Workington, around three miles to the south. Flimby railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line and Flimby Primary School are both within about half a mile, and the A66 at Workington gives access to Cockermouth and the M6 at Penrith.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
