Silloth
Silloth on Solway with its grand Victorian houses, wide, cobbled streets and fine seaward vista, offers the opportunity for a relaxing, get away from it all break. The views out to sea are magnificent, particularly when the sun sets as immortalised on canvas by Turner. Silloth has a lot more to offer than landscapes alone. An excellent links course provides a demanding and enjoyable test for golfers, while families can stay at one of several caravan parks and enjoy a traditional seaside holiday with an award winning beach at Silloth West.
Festivals add an extra dimension to a break in Silloth. There are kites in July, vintage vehicles in June and a beer festival in September, to name a few.
Flora and fauna delight: a good starting place is the Discovery Centre at the Solway Area of Outstanding Beauty. You can find out how this unique area was created and how it is being conserved. The centre also has a fine selection of locally produced arts and crafts.
