The Solway Coast is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The Solway estuary is a very important stopping off point for migratory birds, and a breeding ground for many waders and other birds. Very large flocks of geese and swans can be seen overhead throughout the winter months moving between feeding areas in the countryside and their evening roosts.

The area is very popular with bird watchers who come to see the large variety of waders and other birds both migrant and resident that frequent the Solway.

Due to the strong tidal currents and shallow depth of the water, the Solway is almost totally un-fished on the English side of the estuary. Some of our visitors have seen porpoises close to the shore.

Local fishermen using their traditional Haaf Netting method of catching migratory salmon can be often be seen standing waste deep in the shallows.
