Burgh by Sands Village Highlights

Highlight • Religious Site

Burgh by Sands in a tiny hamlet located along the brilliant Solway Coast Area of Natural Beauty. It's a beautiful spot to stop and catch your breath, featuring a lovely old church, great pub, The Greyhound Inn, and fantastic views across the sea toward Scotland.

Statue of Edward I

Highlight • Monument

Edward I died of dysentery whilst camping on nearby Burgh Marsh in July 1307. He had gathered his men to cross into Scotland and deal with the rebellion of Robert the Bruce.

The statue was unveiled by the Duke of Kent in 2007 and stands proud in the village by the roadside and the playing fields.

King Edward I Monument

Highlight • Monument

For cyclists, it's not worthwhile to continue. There's a double lock here, keeping cyclists out. And beyond that, you're in a swampy marsh, which somewhat discourages you from continuing on foot. But here you can also admire the large monument.

St Michael's Church, Burgh by Sands

Highlight • Historical Site

Originally built in the 12th century on the remains and with stones from the Roman fort of Aballava, part of Hadrian's Wall, King Edward I died near this site in 1307. His body lay in state here before being transferred to Westminster Abbey.
It is one of only three surviving fortified churches in Cumbria and has two towers:
The west tower has wrought-iron gates, arrow slits, and a crenellated roof—originally built as a shelter during border conflicts.
The east tower was later lowered and served as a schoolroom in the 18th century.
The architecture is a mix of Norman and Gothic. A decorated entrance features beakhead motifs (a rare Romanesque detail). Stained glass windows depict northern saints and King Edward I. A Roman corbel is set into the wall.
