Baggrow is a small village in the parish of Allhallows situated north of the Lake District in the English county of Cumbria. In many parts of the village views of England's 4th highest peak[1] Skiddaw, standing 931 metres (3053 ft) above sea level, can be seen to the South East, some 9½ miles away.
Baggrow railway station was a stop along the Bolton Loop of the Maryport and Carlisle Railway which used to run through the village serving the Brayton Knowle Colliery[2] here, and the mine at nearby Mealsgate. The line has been dismantled but evidence of its existence and its use can be seen along the route[3].
