    Tips

    January 19, 2021

    Some of the finest sand dunes on the Cumbrian coast are found at Mawbray Banks. The dune grasslands and dune heath found here are very rare and are important habitats for a number of species. Oystercatchers, curlews, stonechats, terns, bartailed godwits and ringed plovers all use the dunes for breeding and roosting.



    Better still, the views from here are magical. On a good day, Criffel rises from the Galloway coast across the Solway. Back inland is a stonking view of the Northern Lakeland Fells across the Solway Plain.
