Beda Fell is a picturesque area located in Westmorland, a historic county in the northwestern part of England. Situated in the Lake District National Park, Beda Fell is known for its stunning natural beauty and diverse terrain, encompassing both downs and moorland.

The fell is part of the larger range of hills known as the Eastern Fells, which offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. At an elevation of approximately 1,570 feet (480 meters), Beda Fell provides a moderate challenge for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The downs of Beda Fell are characterized by gently rolling hills covered in lush green grass and dotted with wildflowers during the warmer months. This open expanse offers a peaceful and serene atmosphere, ideal for picnics or leisurely walks.

Several footpaths traverse Beda Fell, allowing visitors to explore the area and take in the stunning views. One of the most popular routes is the Beda Fell horseshoe, a circular walk that offers panoramic vistas of Ullswater and the surrounding mountains.
