Fellbarrow is a hill in the western Lake District. The fell is 1,364 feet (416 m) in height. Close to the summit is a trig pillar. I prefer to hike this fell together with it's neighbour - Low Fell - as a circular from Thackthwaite. The bigger nearby fells like Grasmoor look super imposing from Fellbarrow, especially in winter.

An easy Wainwright to bag along with its nearby neighbour Low Fell. Both can be done from Thackthwaite with a two hour walk but parking can be an issue on weekends.
