Burgh Marsh

Highlight • Cycleway

Burgh Marsh is a vast salt marsh on the Solway Firth, where nature, history, and mystery converge. Located near Burgh by Sands, the area forms a key part of the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. King Edward I died here in 1307 during his campaign against Scotland, an event marked by a monument in the middle of the marsh. Bordering the western section of Hadrian's Wall, Burgh Marsh also bears traces of the Roman presence. Today, Burgh Marsh stands as a silent witness to centuries of frontier history, with a landscape that invites reflection and exploration.

Covered Wooden Bus Shelter and Picnic Area

Highlight • Rest Area

The infrequently used bus shelter is covered in case of rain. There is also a picnic bench and a bin to dispose of rubbish. It is next to the road but also surrounded by sheep. A nice place for a snack.

Burgh Marsh

Highlight • Natural

Things are moving forward here. Flat, and the wind is usually at your back. There's only the landscape and the sea to enjoy. And... the occasional stray cow.
