Silloth and the Solway Coast -Seafront

Beaches spread out from the town so there are plenty of places to explore with expansive views across to Scotland dominated by the outline of Criffel on the skyline. Many community events take place here, like Silloth Green Day, music and theatre and vintage fairs. Silloth is also home to the Solway Coast Discovery Centre which tells the story of this entire area and the geology and influences which have shaped it. The town is thought to take its name from ‘sea lathes’, the grain barns built along the coast by the Cistercian monks of Holme Cultram Abbey in nearby Abbeytown. Silloth’s popularity began with the development of the Carlisle and Silloth Bay Railway in the 1800s, followed by the construction of a new dock – the port still dominates the western end of the town today. There’s an airfield on the outskirts of the town, used for training pilots and crews from the UK and allied countries during the Second World War. Famous names from Silloth include Jim Brough, former Great Britain rugby union and league player, national award-winning golfer Charlotte Leitch, and acclaimed contralto singer Kathleen Ferrier.my videos are going to be informative and interesting .hope you will support my channel and love it. #beachfront#silloth#promenade#solwayfirth#cumbria
