Right at the gateway to the Lakes, easy to reach from across the national park
The Lake District has some of the best scenery in the country, but when you need a decent haircut, the options can be surprisingly thin on the ground. A lot of the smaller towns and villages just don't have a barbershop, and the ones that do can be booked out weeks in advance during the busy season. That's one of the reasons people from right across the Lakes make the trip to Barbers Penrith.
Our shop is at Eamont Bridge, just south of Penrith and right off the A66. If you know the Lakes, you'll know that the A66 is the main artery connecting the east and west of the national park. That puts us within easy reach of Keswick, Ullswater, Pooley Bridge, Glenridding, Patterdale, Troutbeck, and the entire northern half of the Lake District. Even from further south like Ambleside, Windermere or Grasmere, the M6 brings you up to Junction 40 and we're just minutes from there.
Tourism drives a lot of what happens in the Lakes, but our regulars are mostly the people who call this place home all year round. Farmers, outdoor instructors, hotel staff, tradespeople, teachers. The people who keep the Lake District running. We know your time matters and your schedule can be all over the place, which is why we offer online booking so you can grab a slot that works around your day. We also see visitors who need a trim while staying in the area. You're always welcome.
From the Ullswater valley, you're looking at 15 to 20 minutes. From Keswick, about 25 minutes along the A66. From Ambleside or Windermere, take the M6 north to Junction 40 and you'll be with us in around 40 minutes. However you get here, the last bit is simple. Come off at Eamont Bridge, turn onto Skirksgill Lane, and you're there. Free parking right outside the door, which makes a nice change from the pay-and-display car parks in the Lake District towns. Book online, sit back, and get a quality haircut from someone who knows what they're doing.
