The main road through Whitehaven is the A595, which travels 38 miles northeast to Carlisle and 42 miles southeast to Dalton-in-Furness.

The nearest motorway is the M6, just over an hour's drive away. Whitehaven has two railway stations joined by a tunnel beneath the town, both on the Cumbrian Coast Line.

Since Whitehaven is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Whitehaven.
