The Solway Coast - Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

The Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is situated in the North West corner of England, stretching from Rockcliffe Marsh on the Scotish Border to just North of the historic harbour town of Maryport. The offices of the AONB are based in the Victorian seaside town of Silloth, adjoining the Solway Coast Discovery Centre.

The Solway Coast AONB has been relatively unchanged since becoming a designated area in 1964. The area covers most of the English Solway Firth coastline from Rockcliffe to Maryport, with the exception of the town of Silloth on Solway.

The Solway Coast has an abundance of natural landscapes and is renowned for its spectacular sunsets.

The staff and management of the Solway Coast AONB are totally committed to the area, working in partnership with the Joint Advisory Committee in order to continue the excellent work already completed to protect and enhance the area.
