Area summary
CA18 sits in Westmorland and Furness Council and is partly within the Lake District National Park. The outcode covers Ravenglass, Holmrook, Drigg and surrounding villages on the western Cumbrian coast. Ravenglass has a Roman heritage (the site of Glannaventa fort) and the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (a heritage narrow-gauge line, locally known as the "Laal Ratty") runs from Ravenglass to Dalegarth. Housing is mixed: stone-built village cottages, Victorian villas, and small newer estate development.
Ravenglass station sits on the Cumbrian Coast line and provides services to Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The A595 provides road links.
Employment patterns include the Sellafield nuclear plant (in adjacent CA20), tourism, agriculture and the heritage railway. Demographics skew older.
Westmorland and Furness Council operates only mandatory HMO licensing. The Renters' Rights Act 2026 has abolished Section 21 evictions. The proposed 2030 EPC C standard, if enacted, will be a substantial cost on stone-built solid-wall stock.
