🌊 The Solway Coast National Landscape is a vast and diverse coastal area in northwest England, stretching along the Solway Firth to the border with Scotland. Covering approximately 115 km², it has been legally protected since 1964 for its outstanding natural beauty. It comprises sandy beaches, salt marshes, peatlands, dunes, and cliffs. It is an important habitat for migratory birds, seals, dolphins, and rare amphibians. It includes parts of the South Solway Mosses National Nature Reserve, one of the largest unspoiled fenlands in the UK.
