BarrowAn easy climb from Braithwaite, near Keswick.

Height: 1494 ft. Best visited from:Braithwaite, Keswick Walk: Easy.

Hint: A bit dull on its own. Combine with an ascent of Outerside for a better morning/afternoon out.

Barrow is not hard to climb. Once the main ridge is gained it is just a trudge to the top. The views to Skiddaw are very good.
