One of the most significant things about Barrow-in-Furness is that only the most hapless, dazed orienteer could possibly visit by accident- you have to have a purpose to get there. I had just such a purpose. The purpose was Barrow.

They said no one goes to Barrow. Well, I did.

PS Next would be Robin Hood's Bay , but that has to go with the
Coast-to-Coast, I suppose.
