Viking Way (a nod to the area’s Norse heritage) was designed to join two villages, Seascale with Gosforth, with a new cycle / pedestrian path in order to improve access for cyclists, walkers and horse-riders. Previously there was a 2.5 mile road with no footpath but was renowned for being an accident blackspot.
3km cycleway between Gosforth and Seascale in West Cumbria. This scheme was on an extremely busy access road into / out of the Sellafield Nuclear Complex.

Design should be developed by the client as far as possible prior to commencement on site to prevent delays and ensure cost certainty for the client.
Stakeholder meetings should be held as soon as possible and ideally prior to commencement on site to enable any ambiguities to be resolved so that delays on site do not occur.
The local Parish Council and end users are happy with the scheme which has enabled the villages of Gosforth and Seascale to be safely linked together.
Public safety has been improved as cyclists and walkers no longer have to use this busy route out of Sellafield.
