Barney's Newsbox started as a small village newsagent back in 1985 and has grown to become, amongst other things, the largest jigsaw shop in the UK. It's still a busy newsagents stocking local newspapers, maps, guide books, greeting cards and confectionery local to the lakes, but also offers a wide range of other items such as gifts, novelty items, T-shirts, and sweat shirts. Barney's is also well-known for its range of model cars, hand-made cars and car kits, with thousands of them available in stock.

Barney's has two entrances: one takes you into the newsagents; the other, named Call The Wild, is devoted to the theme of wildlife with a huge range of items such as ceramics, children's toys, teddy bears, wildlife toys, clothing, music and more. Owners William Livesey and Linda Perren have devoted most of the top floor to its incredible range of jigsaws. There are more than 4,000 different puzzles to choose from, including a range of Lake District jigsaws, some of them from their own designs. There are jigsaws for children and ones for the real expert _ the largest is composed of 18,000 pieces. A catalogue is available and Barney's also operates a mail order service.
