Hodbarrow lagoon
Hodbarrow Lagoon, Millom in Cumbria.
Hodbarrow lagoon was originally the site of the Hodbarrow Iron Mines. The first shaft was sunk in the 1850s to extract the iron rich haematite from the ground. Mining ceased in 1968 and the mines were flooded, thus creating the Hodbarrow Lagoon, the largest coastal lagoon in the northwest of England and now an RSPB Nature Reserve.
The old Hodbarrow Lighthouse can be seen to the right of the lagoon.
