Tips

June 17, 2021

Hiking

Barrow is a 1,493-foot (455 m) Wainwright in the North Western fells of the Lake District. On a clear day from the summit you can appreciate the view across the fells of the Coledale Round, the Skiddaw massif, the Helvellyn range, Derwent Water and Bassenthwaite Lake. Much of Barrow is covered in heather.

Hiking

My last Wainwright of the day after doing the Coledale Horseshoe and what a view from the last one. Great views down over Keswick and across towards Skiddaw and Blencathra.
