22 minutes along the A66 from Warcop to a proper barbershop on Skirsgill Lane, Penrith
Warcop is a quiet, tucked-away village on the edge of the training area, sitting between Appleby and Brough along the A66 corridor. It's a lovely place to be, but barbershops aren't exactly part of the local scenery. Most folk in Warcop end up heading to Appleby or even further afield, and often settle for whatever's available rather than what's actually good. BB's Barbers on Skirsgill Lane, Penrith is about 17 miles westbound along the A66, and the 22-minute drive is a proper dual carriageway for most of the way — quick and easy.
What you'll find when you get here is a proper barbershop with two experienced barbers who take real pride in their work. Andrew has been cutting hair for years and knows exactly how to deliver what you're after, whether that's a sharp skinfade, a natural taper, or a neat scissor cut. Isaac brings the same attention to detail and skill with modern styles. Between them, they cover everything from children's cuts to full beard work. No gimmicks, no rush — just solid barbering done right.
We know 17 miles might sound like a bit of a trek for a haircut, but our regulars from the A66 villages will tell you it's well worth the drive. You're getting a 4.8-star rated barber, free parking at the door, straightforward prices starting from £10, and the kind of consistent quality that keeps you coming back. If you're heading towards Penrith for anything else, it's an easy addition to the trip. Book your slot online or call us on 01768 866472.
