With over 140 buildings made from local Coniston slate. Houses, farms and barns create the Lakeland landscape. Newly added - teas to be served in the new Japanese Tea House overlooking the Japanese Garden. Water features throughout. Half timbered period houses and local architecture are all faithfully reproduced. The model village has been growing over the last 10 years, but it will be a few years yet before it is completed.

These miniature buildings depict Cumbrian houses and farms including classics such as Hill Top, the home of Beatrix Potter. There is a replica of Slater's Bridge with the adjoining Clapper Bridge (Little Langdale) spanning over 50 ft long. All the buildings are lovingly hand crafted by Edward Robinson. He also does commissions and sells miniature replica houses.

The Lakeland Miniature Village visitor attraction is situated in the village of Flookburgh in the Lake District Peninsulas, just to the south of the Lake District National Park.

Nearby is the small traditional seaside town of Grange-over-Sands overlooking Morecambe Bay with Lake Windermere around 10 miles to the north

The Solway Aviation Museum is run by volunteers from the Solway Aviation Society, with a theme of British Military Aircraft manufactured in the North West of England between the 1950's and 1960's.

In 1962 the then Solway Group of Aviation Enthusiasts acquired their first aircraft, this was an Armstrong Whitworth built Hawker Hart Trainer, which was recoverd from a barn at the Nelson Thomlinson School in Wigton Cumbria. A year later it was donated to the RAF Museum and fully restored, the aircraft went on display at Hendon when it opened in 1972.

The 'preservation bug' had bitten and a few years later, the Society acquired a Vampire Jet Trainer which, after some years on display at Carlisle Airport, was restored to full airworthiness, and still flies today. The next Aircraft was an Armstrong Whitworth Meteor, which is still on display today. A Vulcan bomber was purchased by two members of the Society for static display, to be followed by a Lightning, a Canberra and another Vampire in the period between 1988 and 1990

The Society now trades as the Solway Aviation Museum for the preservation and care of the Aircraft and aviation based artefacts that we hold in the display and storage rooms at Aviation House. Our primary objective is the preservation of our Aviation Heritage, it's display and interpretation. Here you can take a nostalgic reminder of the men and women of the war time RAF, who served in Cumberland during WWII.

The aircraft collection is based on the British Jet Aircraft that entered service with the Royal Air Force during the 1950's and 1960's, many of which have local connections. Blue Streak parts and equipment are on display in the new Blue Streak room, and this exhibit is always increasing as more information is handed to us for safe keeping.
