A straight 25-minute run along the A66 from the upper Eden Valley to Skirsgill Lane, Penrith
Brough sits right at the top of the Eden Valley where the A66 meets the old market routes, and if you've tried finding a decent barber nearby you'll know the options are thin on the ground. The good news is that BB's Barbers is a straight shot along the A66 westbound — about 25 minutes with the scenery of Stainmore and the northern Pennines rolling past. It's a familiar drive for most Brough residents who already head towards Penrith for shopping and errands, so adding a quality haircut to the trip makes perfect sense.
Andrew and Isaac run a proper traditional barbershop on Skirsgill Lane, Penrith, just south of Penrith. Between them they cover everything from classic scissor cuts and textured crops through to sharp skinfades, taper fades, and beard work. They take their time getting the details right, and the relaxed atmosphere means you won't feel rushed through the chair. That consistency is a big part of why we've built up 97 Google reviews with a 4.8-star average — people come back because the standard never drops.
For lads in Brough, Warcop, and the surrounding villages, the drive to us is genuinely worth it.
