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.

Splendid views far beyond Bassenthwaite Lake to Keswick and Derwent Water all around 360°

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.
