The tranquil village of Allonby is
situated on Cumbria's Solway Coast, an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Mariner's cottage is located in the centre of Allonby, with open views across
the Solway Firth to Scotland.
This very peaceful and relaxing base is ideally situated for visiting
un-commercialized West Cumbria, and the magnificent Lake District
National Park. Keswick is just a 30 - 35 minute drive away.
The coastal towns of Maryport, and Whitehaven with their marinas are a
short distance down the coast. Carlisle with it's castle and compact, shopping centre is an easy, uncongested
25 minutes to the North..
In-land from Allonby, there are quiet country lanes,
which can be explored on foot, or bicycle.
Pub meals are available in some of the nearby villages.
The local beaches are great for a peaceful stroll, or for the more energetic,
there is often great surf in Allonby Bay.
Fishing is good, as the Solway is not fished commercially
