Allonby Cottages
When you think of the Lake District you picture lakes, mountains
and often hordes of tourists. But head west to the Solway Coast and
discover a quieter side, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
blessed with delightful coastal villages like Allonby.
Prepare to gaze in awe at the wide, horseshoe bay, backed by
sand dunes and affording sweeping vistas of the Isle of Man and
southern Scotland. Look out for birdlife, the occasional seal and
dolphin, wild Allonby ponies, not to mention tame ones for rides on
the sands.
Explore Allonby's cobbled backwaters, dipping in and out of
the shops and eateries, where you'll sample Cumbrian
hospitality at its best. On a hot summer's day, cool down with
a large dollop of homemade ice-cream.
Outdoor fun in an Allonby holiday home!
Windsurf in one of the northwest's best spots. Walk the
ancient Smugglers' Route or a chunk or two of the Cumbrian
Coastal Way. Head inland to the Solway Plain crisscrossed with
tranquil lanes, paths and bridleways. Add golf, freshwater fishing,
nature reserves and a selection of vibrant festivals.
Drive up the coast to the seaside town of Silloth, with its
prom, harbour and golf course, or down to Maryport, with its striking Georgian
architecture, aquarium, wave centre and Senhouse Roman Museum. The
region has a colourful history and other places of interest include
Milefortlet 21 (World Heritage Site), Anglo-Saxon saltpans and
stately homes like Mirehouse and Caerlaverock Castle just across
the border.
Come evening, watch spectacular sunsets slip into the sea then
unwind in your cosy Allonby cottage Please find below our
