Silloth, Western Lakes and Coast

Silloth

This lovely Victorian seaside town offers breathtaking views across the Solway of Dumfries and Galloway and has, as its backdrop, the timeless Lakeland Mountains. In the other direction we are backed by the Lake District Fells and Mountains and to the east we have Hadrian’s Wall.

There are wide tree-lined granite set streets, a picturesque promenade, recreational facilities and colourful summer festivals.

Enjoy a round of golf at Cumbria’s number 1 golf course or in the area there are facilities to enjoy bowls, windsurfing and a launch for jet-ski’s and pleasure boats. There’s even a funfair overlooking the promenade and the beach which stretches 13 miles to Maryport.

Western Lakes and Coast

The Muncaster Experience in Ravenglass offers a full day of family excitement with its haunted castle, Owl Centre and much more. Steam enthusiasts mustn’t miss a scenic trip on ‘La’al Ratty’ along the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway. In Maryport there’s the Senhouse Roman Museum and The Lake District Coast Aquarium. At Keswick there’s The Lake District Wildlife Park, or how about a tour (and a tasting!) at the Jennings Brewery in Cockermouth.
