Silloth Green — Attraction in Silloth-on-Solway

Silloth Green is a piece of living history, a previous review by a "Local Guide" states the Green is "a waste of space" UTTER NONSENSE! Such a comment is clearly made by someone that clearly know s nothing about Silloth Green.

However, the barrier is high enough to go under... but I never...

It's a beautiful space... lovingly looked after... with places to sit and watch the world go by (at gentle pace) or enjoy the view across the Solway... or enjoy an ice-cream and a bite to eat. Dogs are allowed which is wonderful (but to those few irresponsible dog owners who don't clean up after their dogs... you give all of us a bad name and should be ashamed of yourselves). If you're looking for somewhere lovely to spend a few hours without it costing a fortune... Silloth is well worth a visit... and when the sun is shining.. it's a perfect place to pack a picnic and just have...
