Sir John Barrow Cottage

Sir John Barrow Cottage is the birthplace of Sir John Barrow, now a small museum in Ulverston. Inside, you'll find historic furniture, artefacts and information display boards that bring the building's history to life, and the cottage also hosts events in its intimate setting. It's linked to the nearby Sir John Barrow Monument on Hoad, making the two a natural pairing for a visit. The cottage suits those with an interest in local history and heritage buildings. It's open from Easter to the end of October, Fridays 10am-2pm and Sundays 1pm-5pm. If you're staying in the area, Ulverston station is just 0.4 miles away, and there are 54 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
