Tarns Dub

Highlight • Lake

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.

Christ Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Christ Church in Silloth is an Anglican church that has been a recognizable landmark in the coastal town on the Solway Firth since its consecration in 1870. The building is designed in the Victorian Gothic style, with a striking granite façade and a characteristic broach spire that defines Silloth's skyline.

Built in stone and brick, with an apsidal east end; the interior is in red and yellow brick, with decorative embroidery and a "pasta" Celtic cross; the tower contains eight bells, currently not playable.
