Wigton & Silloth

About

Wigton & Silloth are located in the northern part of Cumberland, near the Solway Firth. The area is characterised by flat coastal plains and farmland, with views stretching toward the Lake District fells. Silloth sits on the coast, featuring a small harbour and a long promenade, while Wigton lies inland as a market town with historic buildings and a traditional town square. The landscape is shaped by agriculture and the nearby wetlands, which attract birdlife.

The area has a quiet, rural atmosphere, with local businesses serving the farming community and visitors. Silloth’s seafront includes a golf course and green spaces, while Wigton retains its market town roots with weekly markets. Transport links connect the towns to Carlisle and the wider region, making it a gateway to both the coast and the countryside. The Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty lies nearby, offering walking routes and coastal scenery.
