Allonby is a small coastal village and parish on the edge of the Solway Firth in historic Cumberland, north‑west England. Sitting on wide sands and low dunes with salt marshes nearby, it enjoys long views across the estuary and, on a clear day, to the Isle of Man; the shoreline and birdlife make it popular with walkers and wildlife watchers.
Once centred on fishing and farming, the local economy now depends largely on tourism and services for the surrounding rural area, while retaining a strong community feel with a handful of pubs, cafes and independent traders. The village is close to Roman sites around Maryport and lies within the characterful Solway coast landscape, so history, coastal conservation and informal local traditions all shape its identity.
