Approx 87 miles to Barrow from Wigan, so closer than Hull.
Barrow used to be a pain in the ar5e to get to though. Not so much any more, however. I remember going in the 1986/87 season and it seemed to take hours, because it was all narrow country roads.
But they've built several roads that bypass the small villages, so whilst you still have to go through Newby Bridge and Ulverston, the rest of the way is fairly straightforward with plenty dual carriageways.
