Allonby is situated on the Northwest coast of Cumbria, well away from the jostling crowds, high prices, traffic jams and parking restrictions of the National Park but with all the glorious scenery, peace and tranquility of this beautiful part of the world.

A former fishing village, Allonby is now home to a number of local businesses and a community of writers and artists. Visitors who discover Allonby return year after year. It is a favourite ‘day out’ destination for Cumbrians, with its stretch of wild coastline, AONB dunes and quirky local businesses.
