Solway Plain Parish

The Solway Plain covers an area of 40 square miles in one of the loveliest and most unspoilt parts of England. The area, located between the sea and the Lake District fells, and somewhat misleadingly known as the Solway Plain, is anything but flat. Among the hills and hollows of the lovely undulating landscape are scattered hamlets and villages, each with their own character. The Solway Firth coast forms the northern border of the Parish and is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The A596 Carlisle-Wigton-Aspatria road roughly defines the southern border.
