About

The Solway Coast ward encompasses a stretch of low-lying salt marshes, farmland, and coastal settlements along the northern edge of the Solway Firth. The landscape is dominated by expansive, often misty tidal flats and wide skies, with the hills of southern Scotland visible across the water. Key settlements include the port village of Silloth, with its grid-plan Victorian layout and green, and the smaller communities of Allonby and Mawbray. Agriculture and tourism form the economic basis of the area.

This coastline is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, recognised for its important birdlife and geological features. The shifting tidal sands and complex network of merse and creeks create a dynamic intertidal habitat. Local landmarks include the red sandstone cliff at Crosscanonby and the historic Milefortlet 21, a Roman coastal defence site. The long, often breezy promenade at Silloth offers direct views across the firth to Criffel.
