North of the Lake District, Silloth is a famous tourist destination on the shores of the Solway Firth in West Cumbria. Skiddaw and the Northern Fells can be seen to the south, on the other side of the water, in the Scottish hills of Southern Galloway. "Invigorating air, mild climate, open streets, its promenade and beach" were some of Silloth's most lauded attributes. It's famous for its light and sunsets, as well as its stunning sea and mountain views. By 1856, a railway had arrived, and three years later the docks were open for business. Opened in 1886, Carr's Biscuit Factory Flour Mill is a historic landmark in the city. For a time, Silloth was one of Scotland's most popular coastal resorts.
