The images top are of Silloth Green, a
vast Grassland with Amusements and Waterside
Walks.
The fourth image is from Silloth Green
looking towards the Town centre. Silloth is a
fairly small Town with the centre laid out in
the 1860s, soon after the Railway reached the
area in the late 1850s.
The Town was designed as a Seaside Holiday
Resort, mainly for residents of the City of
Carlisle, 23 mile east.
The Town centre has wide streets with
chunky Victorian buildings, no doubt built
with the intention of having a much larger
Town built around it.
The main street in Silloth is Criffel
Street with the Christ Church being the
tallest building. This Church was built with
granite imported from Ireland, completed in
1870. Large Image of Christ
Church.
The Golf Hotel is also
on Criffel Street with views over Silloth
Green.
The Balmoral
Hotel is also on Criffel Street with
views over Silloth Green.
The Silloth on Solway Golf
Club is close to the town centre, a Links
Course laid out in 1892, one of the top
courses in Cumbria.
The Solway has a number of rivers that run
into it such as the Nith, Eden, Annan, and
Esk. The Solway forms part of the England /
Scotland border, with Dumfries and Galloway
in Scotland across the water to the
north.
Bowness-on-Solway is 16 miles east,
for the start of the Hadrian's
Wall Path that runs about 84 miles east
to Newcastle on the east coast of
England.
