Tarns Dub is a small, shallow body of water on the Solway Coast between Allonby and Mawbray, surrounded by dune vegetation and grassland. Its name, derived from a "tarn" (mountain lake) and "dub" (pond), reflects the local dialect. Ecologically, it serves as a watering hole for livestock and a habitat for amphibians and waterfowl. Scenically, it forms a resting point along the coastal route, with views of the Irish Sea and the hills of southern Scotland. Although modest in size, Tarns Dub contributes to the mosaic of wet and dry habitats that characterizes this part of the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

✈️ On Silloth Green, directly opposite the RAFA Club on Petteril Street, stands an impressive replica model of a Lockheed Hudson Bomber. This aircraft was unveiled on April 1, 2018, to mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force and as a tribute to Silloth's role during the Second World War. Constructed of steel and later reinforced with fibreglass (GRP) to withstand the harsh maritime environment, the model is painted in the colors of No. 1 OTU Squadron, which operated from RAF Silloth. The Lockheed Hudson was an American light bomber used for coastal reconnaissance. Due to the high number of crashes in the Solway Firth, the area became known locally as "Hudson Bay."
