Welcome to Scilly Bank

Scilly Bank is a sandbank located in the Irish Sea, off the coast of Cumbria, England. It is a popular spot for fishing and diving due to its rich marine life and clear waters. The bank is approximately 10 miles long and 3 miles wide, with depths ranging from 10 to 30 meters. It is also home to several shipwrecks, including the SS Lusitania, which was sunk by a German submarine during World War I.

The marine life around Scilly Bank is diverse and abundant, with a variety of fish species, including cod, haddock, and whiting. The area is also home to several species of sharks, including the basking shark, which is the second-largest fish in the world. Divers can explore the shipwrecks and the surrounding reefs, which are home to colorful corals, sponges, and sea anemones.

Scilly Bank is an important area for commercial fishing, with local fishermen catching a variety of fish, including crab, lobster, and scallops. The area is also a popular destination for recreational fishing, with anglers coming from all over the UK to fish for cod, haddock, and other species. The bank is easily accessible from the nearby towns of Whitehaven and Workington, and there are several charter boats available for hire for fishing and diving trips.

Hyning Scout Wood
This Is A Small Woodland Area Where You Can Easily Spend A Good Hour Or So Walking Your Dogs. For Some Dogs I Would Recommend Leads Or Longlines As The Forest Is Surrounded By A Busy Road And Farmers' Fields That Sometimes Contain Livestock. There Are Plenty Of Different Routes To Take In This Forest Making For Some Interesting Walks, Although It Can Get Very Muddy In Autumn And Winter! Depending On Which Routes You Take It Can Be Quite Hilly And Treacherous Under Foot So Care Should Be Taken. Hyning Rd Lancashire 3.85 miles
