Wedholme Flow Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Although consisting of boggy landscape, Wedholme Flow is a unique nature reserve. Part of the South Solway Mosses Natural Nature Reserve, the area is full of rare insects, weird plants and unusual colours. Here, you will find the bright red sundew plant that catches and eats insects with its sticky leaves, and oddly shaped lichen that look other worldly. There are various trails that lead through the wetlands.

St John's Church, Newton Arlosh

Highlight • Historical Site

The lands to the north and south of the border between England and Scotland have historically suffered something of a tug of war between the two great nations. Invasions and raids were commonplace through the centuries.

St John's Church in Newton Arlosh is an interesting remnant of such a time, looking as much like a castle as a church. Crenelations line the top of the defensive pele tower, whilst the windows are nothing but arrow slits. Even the door into the church is remarkably narrow. This meant that newly married couples would have to leave in single file. The locals say that whoever emerges into the churchyard first, having tied the knot, is destined to be 'the boss'.

Joiners Arms

Highlight • Restaurant

Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Open Wednesday through Sunday, with lunch and dinner service (e.g., Fridays: 12:00–2:00 PM & 5:30–8:00 PM).
The Joiners Arms is housed in a historic stone building with low rooflines, thick walls, and an asymmetrical facade typical of Northern English rural architecture. The original structure exudes the atmosphere of an 18th- or early 19th-century inn, with exposed wooden beams, fireplaces, and an informal layout that invites people to socialize.
