We called in at Barrow and I think Chris Rea must have used the M25 in error as Barrow certainly is The Road To Hell.I'm surprised and a little dissapointed that no one is extolling the virtues of the West Cumbria tourist towns of Whitehaven, Workington, and the jewel in the south lakeland crown that's Barrow in furness. Also the magnificent border city of Carlisle. All are steeped in history, and offer the discerning traveller a delightful selection of charity shops, fast food and of course alcohol. Although the heady days of solvent abuse are now sadly gone, there is a thriving artisan narcotics trade.
What an absolute shit hole of a place and it has no redeeming features ... apart from any road that leads out of it.
