Holme Cultram Abbey

The landscape of the Solway Plain has been defined by the impressive structure and activities of Holme Cultram Abbey.

Through the 12th and 13th centuries, the successful cultivation of the land by the Cistercian Monks, who were masters of land and water management, changed the area forever.

RSPB Campfield Marsh Reserve

Campfield Marsh is a fabulous place to visit – and it’s also home to the Solway Wetlands Centre so you can find out loads of information about the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

This nature reserve is a unique mix of different habitats. Trails from the Centre take you into the heart of the site where you can follow the boardwalk across Bowness Common, one of the largest peat bogs in the UK.
