 Silloth is a well laid out coastal town of wide tree-lined streets, fine buildings, and an extensive promenade renowned for it's sea-views and sunsets which have been recorded by the artist, Turner.
Silloth, with it's mild climate, has attracted holidaymakers for many years having as it does, a child-friendly environment. There is plenty to see and do for everyone.
 The Christ Church, built in 1870, stands opposite a 30 acre grassed area, which, as well as providing a year-round recreational space, is the site of the September Beer Festival. Here will stand a large capacity marquee exhibiting the many "real ales" and cider of the area and surrounding districts.
The annual Silloth Vintage Rally is a well attended event with a large gathering of vintage and classic cars, motor-cycles, steam-engines, farm machinery, a fun-fair and stalls. A pub music festival takes place at the same time and so no-one is short of entertainment.
 The mild climate enables year round golf to be played on the 18 hole course, and Carlisle, Maryport, Cockermouth, Bassenthwaite Lake, Derwentwater and Buttermere all lay within easy reach.
Silloth is an ideal resort for young and old. The friendly comfortable bed & breakfast, guest houses, cafes and pubs will offer a warm welcome.
