Welcome to Drumburgh

Drumburgh is a small 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 scenery, with views of the firth and the surrounding countryside. Drumburgh is also home to a number of historic buildings, including a 12th-century church and a 16th-century manor house.

One of the main attractions in Drumburgh is the Solway Aviation Museum, which is located on the site of the former RAF Carlisle airport. The museum features a collection of aircraft and aviation memorabilia, including a Vulcan bomber and a replica Spitfire. Visitors can also take a tour of the museum's restoration workshop, where volunteers work to restore vintage aircraft.

Drumburgh is also a popular destination for birdwatchers, as the Solway Firth is home to a variety of bird species. The firth is an important feeding ground for migratory birds, and visitors can spot species such as oystercatchers, curlews, and redshanks. The village is also close to the RSPB Campfield Marsh nature reserve, which is home to a variety of bird species and other wildlife.
