Cumbria Cottages by the Beach

Book Cumbria Self-Catering Holiday Cottages by the Sea

Cumbria in North West England is perhaps most famous for the Lake District but its coastline, which runs from Carlisle to Barrow-in-Furness, is home to some lovely Victorian seaside resorts. Places like Seascale, St Bees, Allonby and Silloth boast some fine long sandy beaches, amazing sunsets and often views over the Isle of Man. Cumbria is a destination for those who enjoy a traditional seaside experience, appreciate nature reserves and enjoy historic curiosities. For example Hadrian’s Wall, a World Heritage Roman frontier wall that crosses the country from East to West, starts at Bowness-on-Solway in the North.
