    Buckbarrow is a Wainwright in the Western Lake District. It's most commonly hiked from Greendale and the ascent has beautiful views down to Greendale Gill. komoot maps are really helpful for this area because they show the possible ascent paths that are absent from other maps. Care must be taken to avoid the crags on the south east side of Buckbarrow.

      Buckbarrow was the first of my three Wainwrights today and it is a short but stiff old climb from the road but it is on a decent path and the views are great.
