Welcome to Allonby

Allonby is a small coastal village located in the county of Cumbria, England. It is situated on the Solway Firth, which is a large estuary that separates England from Scotland. The village is known for its beautiful sandy beach, which is popular with tourists and locals alike. The beach is also a great spot for birdwatching, as it is home to a variety of seabirds and waders.

Allonby has a rich history, dating back to the Roman era. The village was once an important port, and it played a significant role in the trade between England and Scotland. Today, visitors can explore the village's history by visiting the Allonby Heritage Centre, which is located in the old schoolhouse. The centre features exhibits on the village's maritime history, as well as displays on local geology and wildlife.

In addition to its natural beauty and rich history, Allonby is also known for its friendly community. The village has a number of local shops and businesses, including a post office, a bakery, and a pub. There are also several community events held throughout the year, including a summer carnival and a Christmas fair.
