St Bees b&b, guesthouse and hotel accommodation

Visit St Bees and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:

St Bees, Cumbria, is a small coastal resort, about 4 miles South of Whitehaven. The town lies mainly inland but has a good beach. Nearby is St Bees Head in fine red sandstone — the most westerly point of Cumberland.

The Church of SS. Mary and Bega belonged to a Benedictine priory of the 12^th century and is one of the most outstanding in Cumberland. St Bega is believed to have come from Ireland in about A.D. 650 to found a nunnery that preceded the priory, and the other church dedicated to her is at Bassenthwaite Lake. St Bees Church has work of Norman and later periods; there has been much restoration and the central tower was altered in the 19^th century by Butterfield. The fine Norman doorway should be noted. An impressive carved stone in the churchyard wall shows St Michael fighting a dragon. It is thought to be 8^th-century and may have survived from the nunnery.

St Bees grammar school was founded in the 16^th century and is now a public school.
