Livestock — leads on

Natural England's reserve on the Solway plain, roughly eight miles from both Carlisle and Wigton on the B5307, and one of the largest patches of woodland, wet heath and rough pasture left in the lowlands here. There are two waymarked trails from the Haverlands Green lay-by, including a two kilometre blue route firm enough for limited mobility. Cattle and sheep graze the reserve all year and there are adders on the heath, both of which are the stated reasons for the lead rule. Ticks are present and Lyme disease occurs in this part of the county, so check the dog over afterwards.

A 205 acre reserve on the Solway plain a mile and a half west of Great Orton, laid out on the site of the 2001 foot and mouth burial ground and now grassland, ponds, hides and young woodland. The main loop is a wide, well-drained surfaced track, which is why it works in a Cumbrian winter when the riverside paths in Carlisle are mud; the same track is used by the reserve's adaptive cycles, so expect to share it. There is a visitor centre and cafe on site and free parking. The reserve is a genuine lead-on site and says so plainly, which is exactly why regular dog walkers use it.

Seven and a quarter miles and close to three hours on ground that is almost completely flat, out along the promenade and the Skinburness shore to the shingle spit of Grune Point, where the Solway opens out towards Criffel and the Scottish shore. It starts on Silloth's green, where the wide streets carry free parking all the way along the front - the easiest arrival of any walk in this county. The far half is quiet saltmarsh and shingle with big skies and few people, and the sea is shallow and safe for a swim at the right state of tide, but Grune Point is a nature reserve with ground-nesting and overwintering birds and grazing stock on the marsh, so leads from the Skinburness corner out. The saltmarsh channels fill fast on a rising tide.

Silloth West Beach

Silloth

Cobble and sand along the Solway shore below the promenade and Silloth Green, looking across to the Scottish hills. There is no seasonal dog ban under the Cumberland order, but this is a bird coast: keep dogs under control near the feeding and nesting areas and on the lead around the grazing stock.
