Ice-cream Queue
Allonby's ice cream is apparently very famous, and the length of this queue is a testament to that reputation. My friend, who lives in the area, joined the queue, and told me to go and walk about the village and see what there is to see there. Unbelievably, my last photograph before I rejoined her, not quite at the head of the queue, was taken 50 minutes after this one, so I reckon she queued for a full hour for that ice cream!

West End, Allonby
On the coast road between Silloth and Maryport, with Twentyman's famous ice cream shop on the left, Toll Gate House on the right.
West End is at the south of the village, so we're wondering how it got that name.

Allonby grasses
Between the B5300 road through Allonby, and the beach, there is a thin strip of sand dunes with marram grasses growing. This is a view to the north, towards the village.

Car Park
Allonby is fortunate to have room for a large car park on the grassy area between the main road and the dunes. Compare the queue beyond it with Image], taken 50 minutes before.

Public Toilets, Allonby
Allonby is a popular seaside destination for visitors, especially families, with extensive beaches and views across the Solway Firth to Scotland.
Much to the disquiet of local businesses, Allerdale Borough Council are spending millions of pounds providing a new tarmacadam cycle track along fourteen miles of the coast either side of Allonby from Maryport to Silloth which will be of marginal benefit to most visitors to the village, but that same council has permanently closed the one facility that almost all visitors find essential!
