2021 is the ‘Year of the Cumbrian Coast’ and is welcoming more tourists to the UK’s coasts on ‘staycations’ in light of the impacts COVID-19 has had on travel and holiday plans.
A new 200-mile Cumbrian Coastal Route has been launched, targeted towards motorhome and caravan owners. The route is split into 5 smaller sections and the Solway features in sections 4 and 5;
Section 4 – Seascale to Maryport – The Nordic Coast
Section 5 – Maryport to Carlisle- Solway Coast to City Stay
This new route will help encourage visitors to the Solway and wider Cumbrian coast and will help with effective trip planning alongside the new Motor Caravanners’ Code, which also helps navigate the most suitable routes to avoid rural and narrow roads.
