Silloth War Memorial Model Airplane

Highlight • Historical Site

✈️ On Silloth Green, directly opposite the RAFA Club on Petteril Street, stands an impressive replica model of a Lockheed Hudson Bomber. This aircraft was unveiled on April 1, 2018, to mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force and as a tribute to Silloth's role during the Second World War. Constructed of steel and later reinforced with fibreglass (GRP) to withstand the harsh maritime environment, the model is painted in the colors of No. 1 OTU Squadron, which operated from RAF Silloth. The Lockheed Hudson was an American light bomber used for coastal reconnaissance. Due to the high number of crashes in the Solway Firth, the area became known locally as "Hudson Bay."

Silloth East Cote Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

Silloth East Cote Lighthouse sits back from the promenade almost exactly half way between Silloth and Skinburness. It was originally established in the 1800s on a short moveable rail track but was later fixed into a set position in the early 1900s. It points out across the Solway Firth.

Christ Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Christ Church in Silloth is an Anglican church that has been a recognizable landmark in the coastal town on the Solway Firth since its consecration in 1870. The building is designed in the Victorian Gothic style, with a striking granite façade and a characteristic broach spire that defines Silloth's skyline.

Built in stone and brick, with an apsidal east end; the interior is in red and yellow brick, with decorative embroidery and a "pasta" Celtic cross; the tower contains eight bells, currently not playable.
