Barras is a hamlet close to the River Belah, about 40NaN0 south-east of Brough, Cumbria, England.[1] [2]
Until the creation of the new county of Cumbria, Barras was situated at the eastern edge of the historic county of Westmorland.
The hamlet is located at approximately 1100feet above sea level.
From 1861 until 1962 it was served by Barras railway station on the Stainmore railway line between Kirkby Stephen and Barnard Castle.
