Edderside is a farming hamlet with a duck pond, about 1½ miles inland from the main coast road, about a mile north of Allonby. It has been called the Hawkshead of the Solway Plain. Like its Lakeland counterpart, it has a long, fascinating history and many fine examples of vernacular architecture. See Holme St Cuthbert History Group for more information, including how NOT to get there. See also A potted history of Edderside.
