Burgh Marsh is a vast salt marsh on the Solway Firth, where nature, history, and mystery converge. Located near Burgh by Sands, the area forms a key part of the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. King Edward I died here in 1307 during his campaign against Scotland, an event marked by a monument in the middle of the marsh. Bordering the western section of Hadrian's Wall, Burgh Marsh also bears traces of the Roman presence. Today, Burgh Marsh stands as a silent witness to centuries of frontier history, with a landscape that invites reflection and exploration.

Drumburgh Castle in Cumbria was built in 1307 as a pele tower on a Roman foundation of Hadrian's Wall, using reused Roman sandstone. In 1518, it was converted into a fortified house, a so-called bastle house, which features defensive features such as loopholes and blank walls. The building even includes an integrated Roman altar and bears the Dacre coat of arms. As a Grade I-listed building, it is of exceptional heritage importance, but it is currently privately owned and not open to the public.

🏛️ Holmcultram Abbey, located in Abbeytown, is a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1150 by monks from Melrose Abbey in Scotland. The abbey grew to be one of the wealthiest and most influential religious institutions in Northwest England, thanks in part to its expertise in land reclamation, wool production, and salt mining. In the 13th and 14th centuries, it was repeatedly plundered by Scottish raids, including a major attack by Robert the Bruce in 1319. It was dissolved in 1538 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, but the church remained as a parish church. Built of red sandstone, possibly from Scotland or St Bees, it retains medieval features such as carved arches and an impressive west entrance. Tearoom in the adjacent Abbey Cottages.

A pele tower was built on this site in 1307 on a former tower of Hadrian's Wall. This castle was then built on the same site in 1518 and then altered to its present design in the 17th century.
