About Whicham Parish Council

Monthly Council Meetings

The next planned meeting of Whicham Parish Council will be held on Wednesday, 2 September 2026.

This will be held at Kirksanton Village Hall unless otherwise stated in the agenda.

Whicham Parish lies beneath the fell of Black Combe and is shaped by its ancient landscape, stone circles and historic tracks.

The Parish Council works on behalf of residents to maintain local services, support the rural environment and address community needs. We liaise with Cumberland Council on planning matters, highways, rights of way and public services affecting the parish.

Silecroft Beach provides a well-maintained and easily accessible car park right next to the shoreline. Parking is free for all, and the Parish Council gratefully welcomes voluntary £2 donation in the yellow honesty boxes to support the upkeep of the car park and toilet facilities. Every contribution helps to keep these services running for the benefit of both residents and visitors.

A short stroll from the car park is the much-loved beach café, serving hot drinks, snacks, and local ice cream. It’s the perfect place to pause and enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery that makes Silecroft such a treasured local spot.
