Looked on Traveline out of interest to see if it was even possible to get there on public transport and it was, but not until around 3pm! Think that would be an expensive waste of a trip.

It would be quite a journey by bus; 7 to Durham, 21/X21/X12 to Newcastle, 685 to Carlisle then the 300 down to Workington. Although, to cut off a lot of journey time; get the 7 to Durham, the train (Virgin East Coast, First TransPennine, CrossCountry, whichever you like) up to Newcastle, a Northern Rail service to Carlisle, then a Northern Rail service down to Workington. I think that would cut off the journey time significantly, if you took the train as opposed to the bus.
