High Harrington sits on the southern edge of Workington, serving as a quieter, largely residential counterpart to the busier town centre. Historically, the village evolved significantly during the 19th century with the arrival of the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway, and while the station has long since closed, the old line now forms part of a popular network of cycle paths and walkways. Its geography is defined by its position above the coast; while nearby Low Harrington clusters around the shore and the small harbour, High Harrington occupies the higher ground, offering views across the Solway Firth toward the Galloway hills on clear days. The village maintains a distinct identity through its local amenities, including a handful of long-standing pubs and the primary school, which act as focal points for the community. Its location is particularly practical for those working in the coastal towns, as the A595 provides a straightforward link to Whitehaven and the Sellafield site to the south, while the Lake District fells remain easily accessible by car.
