No official Cumberland Council statement on metal detecting on its beaches or land was found (site searches of cumberland.gov.uk returned nothing). Ask the council before detecting on council-owned land; Crown Estate foreshore rules apply where the foreshore is Crown-owned.
We couldn't find a published rule. Foreshore owned by the Crown Estate follows the Crown Estate's terms; for council-owned beaches, ask the council before you dig.
