The well-known seaside town of Allonby is situated in a five-mile-long crescent-shaped bay on the Solway Firth, offering a safe sand beach during low tide and miles of clean shingle beach during high tide. There are lovely panoramic views across the harbour towards Criffel and the Galloway Hills of Scotland, and the flat ground is perfect for walkers of all ages, dogs, windsurfers, and kite flyers. The village, which is located in an area recognised as having outstanding natural beauty, has retained much of its Victorian and Georgian charm, with cobblestone streets, intriguing nooks to discover, and a number of magnificent buildings, including The Baths, an impressive colonnaded structure. The magnificent Lake District Fells provide the ideal setting for the settlement. The village is traversed by the Cumbria Coastal Path and the Allerdale Ramble. Both the renowned Silloth Golf course and the Maryport Golf Course offer links golf. You can travel quickly to the ancient city of Carlisle, cross the border to Gretna Green, experience Hadrian's Wall's 2000-year legacy, or spend fun-filled days exploring the picturesque Western Lakes and fells, where there are a variety of things to see and do, including Hadrian's Cycleway where you can enjoy the breathtaking views while travelling. For mountain bikers and walkers, the breathtaking Whinlatter Forest Park in the vicinity of Keswick is a haven, and for the more daring, the Go Ape high wire adventure course is perfect.
