  • Top-notch family holiday park on the edge of Silloth
  • Close to the Galloway Hills and Lake District National Park
  • Indoor pool, restaurant-bar and busy activity/entertainment programme
Off to explore the Lake District, the Scottish Borders or Hadrian's Wall – and want to stay at a holiday park with heaps to do on site for when you’re not out and about? Nearby Solway Holiday Park should fit the bill, as it's had several million pounds on updating its leisure facilities to make this 130-acre holiday park a highly sought-after place to stay on the stunning Solway Firth coast. It’s also located within walking distance of the Victorian seaside town of Silloth, in a handy spot for all sorts of outings on both sides of the England/Scotland border. That mix means you can really tailor your holiday to your own tastes, whether you’re planning to explore the scenery of the Lake District National Park and Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, hit the beach or focus your attentions on the activities available on site (or some combination of all of the above…) And those activities… well, there are lots and lots of them to fill your time with. The indoor pool, sports field and games arcade might be a place to start (all of these being free to use) while you consider which of the other activities you might like to join in with. Might it be aqua games, teddy bear hunts or pirates and princesses adventures for the younger kids, or archery, zorbing, axe throwing and bird of prey experiences for older guests? Head over to reception to find out the options and put your schedule together. It’s really worth finding some time for the entertainment too – there’s a packed programme of all sorts from kids’ shows through karaoke and bingo to live music from top-notch performers. Of course, all the practicalities are covered here too – the site has a launderette, a mini market and a restaurant/bar that’s open through the day for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and drinks.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The campsite was lovely sized, and the toilet/shower block was ideally located

Disliked I only saw 1 staff member then entire weekend and it seemed like he was stretched thin. There wasn’t much info given when we arrive. Pitchup said there was a quiet time between 10pm and 8:30am however we had multiple people around us still blaring music and yelling at almost midnight. There wasn’t much info no staff to control this and no one to go to cause when we rang a number it just said reception was closed. Honestly a little disappointed and probably won’t be returning due to this. We have young children and even they were struggling to sleep with the amount of noise.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Kids made lots of friends

Disliked Site is very tired and old, almost everything was closed ad the shop even shut early every night, showers had no seperate changing spaces, entertainment was very poor even 4 and 7 year old were not impressed. Activity centre looks like a abandoned buildingand the soft play is closed permanently Considering it is high season the lack of open food places and entertainment is very poor would not return here

Electric grass pitch

Liked The freedom to choose own pitch and the spaces between pitches, The pool booking system worked well and the park was kept reasonably clean and tidy, will definitely return.

Disliked Parents letting kids run between campervans and tents and through the middle of other people's spaces,
Also kids throwing bottles of fizzy pop all around the toilet and shower areas watching it explode....which attracted ants and wasps.

Local attractions

On the English side of the Firth, Solway guests can reach the north-western lakes of the Lake District National Park, day trips to Carlisle and the hills and stargazing of Northumberland National Park. On the Scottish side, you could hike the Galloway Hills, run away to Gretna or drive further afield to urban days out at Edinburgh or Glasgow. (To see it all at once, take a trip to championship Solway Golf Course where you can tee around to views of the Lakeland Fells, Galloway Hills and across to the Isle of Man.) Moseying towards Northumberland (stop off at Carlisle Castle and The Lanes shopping centre on the way), friends, Romans and countrymen can walk as much of the Hadrian’s Wall Path as they can manage: it’s the north of England’s most visited tourist attraction and most of it runs along the Solway Firth on its way to Northumberland. Happily for such a family-centred site, kiddish fun is all around Solway Holiday Park too: farm park Orton Grange, getting open-mouthed at the fish and other inhabitants at Lake District Coast Aquarium, or going on a hop around award-winning World of Beatrix Potter.
