The village of Bowness on Solway is best known for being located at the start (or end) of Hadrian’s Wall in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Located on the shores of the Solway Coast in the Moricambe Bay the area is a haven for the local bird life making the sand dunes, salt marsh, shingle beds and peat mosses their home. There are viewpoints for spotting waders, curlew, golden and grey plover, lapwings and many more birds scattered along the shoreline. Guests looking for a relaxing away from it all holiday but within easy reach of city life and national parks opt to stay here. The village itself has a tea room, village pub and bistro. Carlisle is within half an hours drive, the Lake District is within an hours drive and the Victorian coastal village of Silloth is within half an hour.
