⛰️ Kinmont Buck Barrow

📖 Key Information

Kinmont Buck Barrow at 510m (1,673ft) is a subsidiary summit on the Buck Barrow ridge above the Duddon estuary, giving fine coastal views towards the Irish Sea. Wainwright included it in his Outlying Fells guide as part of the western Cumbrian coastal fell group. The views south across Morecambe Bay and west to the Isle of Man on a clear day are excellent.

🎯 Bonus Birketts within 3 km

These Birkett tops are not Wainwright summits — detour to them on this walk and they are pure profit. Distances are straight-line; allow extra for terrain.
