Silloth Attractions

The most northerly seaside resort on England's west coast before the Scottish border is Silloth (pop. 3,000), on the Solway Firth, with a good anchorage which led to its foundation in 1855 as a port for Carlisle. This function has been taken over by Port Carlisle, and Silloth is now of importance only as a holiday resort. It has a noted 18-hole golf course that operates all year.

Silloth has a mild climate, leisurely atmosphere and a large grassy area in the town centre.
