Located for exploring the beautiful county of Cumbria and the Scottish Borders, Longtown nestles on the Scottish Border just 10 miles from Carlisle and with the northern fells of the Lake District less than an hours drive. The Solway Coast both along the Cumbrian and Scottish shoreline offer beaches for days out with the kids, linger into the evening and marvel at the stunning sunsets as the sun disappears over the horizon. The area is steeped in history; explore historical houses and gardens, march like a Roman soldier along the World Heritage Hadrian’s Wall and visit some of the museums with Roman artifacts or visit Carlisle Castle where Mary Queen of the Scots was imprisoned. River walks along the River Esk lead to Longtown where there are shops, pubs and cafes. The border city of Carlisle is a 15 minute drive with a wealth of shops, bars, restaurants, take aways, cinema and visitor attractions, along with a number of parks and soft play centres. There really is something for everyone, no matter your age, to enjoy in this exquisite corner of England.
