Milefortlet 25
Milefortlet 25 was a Milefortlet of the Roman Cumbrian Coast defences. These milefortlets and intervening stone watchtowers extended from the western end of Hadrian's Wall, along the Cumbrian coast and were linked by a wooden palisade. They were contemporary with defensive structures on Hadrian's Wall. Milefortlet 25 is the southernmost known of the fortlets of the Cumberland coast, but there is nothing to see on the ground, as Milefortlet 25 lies in an industrial area of Maryport.

Maryport Lifeboat Station, is located on Marine Road at the harbour in Maryport, a town approximately 27 miles (43 km) south-west of Carlisle, sitting just outside the Lake District National Park, and overlooking the Solway Firth on the north-west coast of Cumberland, Cumbria.
A lifeboat station was first established at Maryport in 1865, by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), but closed in 1949 after 84 years of operation.
In 1978, with local support, a lifeboat service was re-established at Maryport, initially known as Maryport Inshore Rescue Boat, now Maryport Rescue, and is housed in the old RNLI boathouse on Marine Road.
The station currently operates E-ON Spirit of Maryport, a 9 m (30 ft) Marine Specialist Technology (MST) Rescue 900 Rigid inflatable boat, on station since 2008, and a smaller Zodiac Inflatable boat, Maryport ERB.
