Skinburness

A lively market town in the Middle Ages, Skinburness was used by Edward I in 1299 as a base for his navy when attacking the Scots. A few years later a terrible storm destroyed the town and what survived became a small fishing hamlet.

From nearby Grune Point, the start of the Allerdale Ramble, there are some tremendous views over the Solway Firth and the beautiful, desolate expanse of mashland and sandbank. Grune Point, which was once the site of a Roman fort, now forms part of a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest notable for the variety of its birdlife and marsh plants.
