Silloth has an exceptionally mild climate and is a year round visitor destination. With dozens of holiday parks just a short distance from the town, there is a steady flow of people enjoying this stunning coastal area no matter what the season. The town has pretty, wide tree-lined streets and a large 36 acre village green right on the seafront. Recent improvements to the town have included a rejuvenated children’s park, complete with splash park, work on the scenic promenade and investment in local amenities on and around Silloth green.

There are a handful of lovely independent shops in Silloth as well as plenty of local eateries including both cafes and a couple of Silloth pubs. Things to do in Silloth invariably include a walk along the beautiful Silloth beach, a visit to Silloth Golf Club for a couple of holes or a drink and Silloth fish and chips on the promenade accompanied by one of the best sunsets in Cumbria. The busy docks are interesting to visit and the Discovery Centre in town houses a wonderful tourist information and permanent exhibition about the Solway Coast National Landscape, formerly the Solway Coast AONB.
