Siddick is a village in Cumbria, England. It is situated on the A596 road, approximately 2 miles (3 km) north from the town of Workington. It lies within Workington civil parish.


A coastal settlement on the Irish Sea, fishing contributes to the local economy.[1]


There is a large manufacturing area at the east of the village, with Swedish paper maker Iggesund Paperboard. Eastman Chemical Company and Indorama Corporation used to own chemical plants these have subsequently closed.[2]



Siddick Ponds Nature Reserve


Siddick Ponds Nature Reserve is a protected area and Site of Special Scientific Interest to the south of the village.[3] Ten thousand years ago the ponds were part of a delta in what is now the River Derwent. The name "Siddick" is believed to have come from "Siggit" or "Seagate" a racecourse formerly located closeby. Coal was extracted from the St Helens pit nearby in Siddick and affected the area, after the pit closed the land was reclaimed and replanted to create new wildlife habitats.[4]
