To the west of Carlisle, in the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is the village of Bowness-on-Solway. Hadrian's Wall runs 73 miles from the village to Wallsend, which is close to Newcastle, and is designated as a "National Trail." The village features a pub and a tearoom. There are many viewpoints and lay-bys that are ideal for spotting the waders: oystercatchers, curlew, golden and grey plover, lapwing, knot, dunlin, bar-tailed and black-tailed godwit, redshank, and turnstone. The surrounding area is rich in bird life that visits the sand dunes, salt marsh, shingle beds, and peat mosses. Between Bowness and Annan in Scotland, a rail line known as the Solway Junction Railway was established in 1869. It connected to the Maryport and Carlisle railway. In 1875 and again in 1881, ice build-up caused damage to the iron girder viaduct that spans the river and is 1 mile and 176 yards long. It was fixed, used as a passenger train until 1914, when it switched to being a freight train until 1921, and was eventually destroyed in 1934. Market town Wigton and city Carlisle are well-liked destinations for shopping, bars, and restaurants nearby. In addition, Wigton features a theatre and a weekly market that is held every Friday. Silloth, a Victorian beach resort, is 16 miles distant, and it takes 40 minutes to drive to Keswick to reach the centre of the Lake District. a fantastic starting point for exploring the Scottish Borders and Cumbria.
