Local area
Berrier is on the edge of the Lake District National Park and Bells Farm is well positioned holiday accommodation for the Northern Lakes. It has easy access from the M6 with Lake Ullswater just a few miles south. This attractive hilly farming area offers clean air and open views and a great base for a Cumbrian Holiday for families.

The Lake District has a spectacular landscape with 16 major lakes and hundreds of tarns which were carved out of the landscape during the last ice age, set amidst the highest mountains in England. The park is cared for by the Lake District National Park Authority in partnership with other organisations. The Windermere Lake Steamers are now the UK's second most popular charging tourist attraction.

The Lake District has become associated with many literary figures in particularly, William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter but more recently Alfred Wainwright, whose ' Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells ' has drawn many people to the area . His books provided detailed information on 214 peaks across the region, with carefully hand-drawn maps and panoramas, and also stories and asides which add to the colour of the area.

From Bells Farm self catering holiday accommodation it is a shor drive to Penrith or Keswick for shopping with many good pubs serving food in nearby villages. The owners are on site to provide details of the wide range of cultural and sporting activities in the area. These include Wordsworth’s house, a safari park, brewery and fell walking.
 
Keswick is situated between Skiddaw and Derwentwater and has become the major centre for tourism in the north lakes. This pretty market town offer a wide range of attractions for visitors, from shops and restaurants to museums and boating trips around lake Derwentwater. In 1276 Edward I granted the town its market charter, and the Saturday market continues to this day.
