Silloth - Cumbria

A view of the Solway Firth viewed from the coast.

 

Silloth – on – Solway, as it is now known is one of those towns of yesteryear. Some 40 years since we were last here, yes it has changed a lot, and for the better, so much more to explore and so much more to see. Sadly we were a little late arriving, 3.30 pm, despite attempts to get a meal each time we tried to eat, we were met with “Sorry we are closed/closing” really! At 3.30 pm during school holidays. We made do with a delicious ice cream that it seems has now become famous, we sat enjoying the huge green that slopes away to the prom and stunning views over the Solway Firth to Dumfries and Galloway, and yes it was a huge green, despite dogs and picnics there was a distinct lack of litter, and not one bit of dog poo, and no sign of it either, well done to the council and its users for a classic village green like no other.
