Silecroft Beach

Silecroft Beach is a large sand and shingle dog-friendly beach that always has lots of space.

The beach is on the edge of the Lake District, stretching as far as the eye can see, with the main feature being just inland, the 600-metre (1,970 ft) height of Black Combe. The walk to the top of Black Combe is worth the effort, its isolated position to the south and west of the main Lake District fells gives, weather dependent, excellent all-round panoramic view of land and sea.

Note it is not always as windy as our feature picture above.

Facilities include parking near the beach, toilets, and often an ice cream van.
