Fellbarrow, also known as Mosser Fell, is a gently curving grassy dome at the northern end of the Loweswater Fells, with a fence across the top. The trig point and cairn mark the traditional summit, though unmarked ground just to the south-east is fractionally higher. Westward the view crosses the Cumberland plain to the Irish Sea and the Solway Firth, while Skiddaw and Blencathra rise to the east.
