点评:After visiting the Lake District for years, we’re so glad we at last got round to climbing Hoad Hill and going up the Barrow Monument.
We had a lovely sunny day for it, and it took about 100 mins in all to follow the zig-zag path up from Ulverston, do the tower, and get back down to the town.
The volunteers inside the monument were v welcoming, and it was interesting to learn about the life of Sir John Barrow.
We had to queue for about 10 minutes to go up. I enjoyed the steep narrow staircase that curls up the inside of the tower to the covered viewing space at the top. You do need a head for heights (one of our party got vertigo and had to turn back), and honestly the view outside the foot of the tower is nearly as good.
And what a view it is! - north to the Lakeland fells, and south across Morecambe Bay, with Ulverston itself right at your feet.
Altogether a very enjoyable experience.

那天阳光明媚,我们沿着蜿蜒的小路从乌尔弗斯顿上山,登上塔楼,再回到镇上,一共花了大约100分钟。
纪念碑内的志愿者们非常热情,了解约翰·巴罗爵士的生平也很有趣。
我们排队大约10分钟才上去。我很喜欢塔内蜿蜒向上的陡峭狭窄的楼梯,它通往顶部有顶棚的观景台。你确实需要有恐高症(我们一行人中有人晕了,不得不折返),说实话,塔脚下的景色也差不多一样好。
真是令人叹为观止的景色!——北边是湖区山脉,南边穿过莫克姆湾,乌尔弗斯顿就在脚下。
总而言之,这是一次非常愉快的经历。
