The typical property in CA7
CA7 covers Wigton, Silloth and the Solway villages, northern Cumberland with the Solway Coast AONB.
Area summary
CA7 sits in Cumberland Council. The outcode covers Wigton, Silloth, Aspatria, Allonby and the Solway Firth coastal villages. Most of the coast is within the Solway Coast AONB. Wigton has a small market town with a conservation area. Housing is mixed: older stone-built village cottages, Victorian and Edwardian villas, postwar bungalows and small newer estate development.
Wigton, Aspatria and Silloth stations are on the Cumbrian Coast line, although Silloth's station closed in 1964 (the line to Silloth is no longer operational). Wigton station provides services to Carlisle and Whitehaven. The A595 and A596 provide road links.
Employment patterns include agriculture, tourism (along the Solway Coast), commuting into Carlisle and the Cumbrian Coast nuclear belt (Sellafield in BR-Whitehaven area). Demographics skew older.
Cumberland Council operates only mandatory HMO licensing. The Renters' Rights Act 2026 has abolished Section 21 evictions. The proposed 2030 EPC C standard, if enacted, will be a substantial cost on stone-built solid-wall stock.
