Best Birdwatching Sites: The Soleway

The Solway estuary, which separates the scenic counties of Cumbria and Dumfries & Galloway, is a magical place for both birdwatchers and walkers and this addition to the trusted Best Birdwatching Sites series provides all the information needed to get the best from this unspoilt region.

Author John Miles, a wildlife consultant and former RSPB warden, details 84 different birding sites on the Scottish side of the water (including 49 routes for walkers) and offers equally extensive coverage to 76 coastal and inland sites in Cumbria (54 walk routes). Each report features detailed maps plus helpful directions, seawatching tips, advice on disabled access and public transport, as well as information on which birds can be seen at different times of the year.
