SILLOTH


Thousands of people used to take the train to Silloth for a day trip or to spend longer holidays at the coastal resort. The town is still popular with many people enjoying walks along its cobbled streets and to stand and stare at its beautiful coastline. This series of films takes us back to the heyday of this tourism hotspot.
