Another Walk in Silloth and a Disappearing Hotel

This was the Skinburness Hotel when we walked at Silloth on 1st June 2017 and the photo below was it when John and I walked the route today. I don't know what will happen to the site but the hotel was advertised for sale at £250K about 10 years ago so somebody has lost a lot of money.
John was not available in June so we both decided to go there today with both Tom & Peter unavailable.

It was a fairly misty day but very pleasant for walking. 

Silloth main street and one of the few towns left with cobbled streets 

Skinburness Creek at the furthermost point of the walk. We ended our walk at Mrs. Wilsons Cafe on Silloth High Street and  had a fabulous lunch at a reasonable price with excellent service. 

A Beautiful Walk at Silloth

It was over 2 years ago since we last walked at Silloth and that had been in the middle of winter and not a very good day. Niall had not been to Silloth since his days with the Sunday School Trip. This time the weather was perfect but only the 3 of us managed to make it.  

The tide was well out 

Criffel which is 1870 ft seems so close on the other side of the Firth

The next best thing to a Selfie looking into a mirror outside a house 

This is the Skinburness Hotel which has been derelict for many years. Tom and I remember having lunch in there many years ago. It is sad to see this once very nice hotel look so dilapidated now.
