Underbarrow




OS Grid ref:-SD4692

UnderbarrowThe pleasant Lakeland village of Underbarrow lies to the west of the town of Kendal and stands at the foot of Helsington Barrow, a limestone ridge rising to around 700 feet.

Underbarrow stands at the centre of a network of roads linking Kendal to Crosthwaite in the Lyth Valley, Newby Bridge and Ulverston and the village of Crook to Levens. Underbarrow is a characterful village and has a nucleus of old buildings standing at its centre.

All Saints church, which is situated at the northern end of the village, stands in a highly picturesque setting by fast flowing Chapel Beck. The church was constructed in 1869, but stands on a site that has been occupied by a place of worship for nearly a thousand years. The church chalice dates from 1609 and the church still retains its old oil lamps, which hang from the roof.

The village has one inn, the Punch Bowl, which dates to before 1660 and has a priesthole behind the bar. The pub, which is popular with walkers, boasts superb views, particularly of Helsington Barrow.
