MenuSilloth, Cumberland
Silloth (sometimes known as Silloth-on-Solway) is a port town in Cumberland. It sits on the shoreline of the Solway Firth. Silloth developed in the 1860s around the terminus of a railway from Carlisle. For the first time, workers from the factories of Carlisle were presented with affordable access to the seaside and the town flourished as a destination for day trippers. The town reached the peak of its popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Silloth is within the council area of Cumberland.
