The 'Barrow Way' is a long-distance walking trail which follows the original towpath of the river. It is one of Ireland's most scenic long distance trails but remains largely undiscovered.Best friend, girlfriend and wife of Ron, stayed at the Burrow during the summers of 1994, 1996, and 1997.

The Weasleys had presumably been in residence at the Burrow for a long time, since at least 1970. [6] The Burrow had been the home to the nine Weasleys, although their numbers had thinned over the years as the children grew up and moved out. Despite being poor, none of the Weasleys seemed ashamed of their home, and it had a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. It was a welcoming place, and friends of the family were regular visitors. The Burrow was described in 1992 as being as " different as possible from life on Privet Drive". [7] [8] [3] In 1871 Barrow's population was recorded at 18,584 and in 1881 at 47,259, less than forty years after the railway was built. [20] The majority of migrants originated from elsewhere in Lancashire although significant numbers settled in Barrow from Ireland and Scotland, which represented 11% and 7% of the local population in the 1890s. [22] [23] By the turn of the 20th century, the Scottish-born population had increased to form the highest portion anywhere in England. Other notable immigrant groups included Cornish people who represented 80% of the district of Roose's population at the time of the 1881 census.
