About

Bothel and Wharrels is a predominantly rural ward in the northern part of Cumberland. The area is characterised by farmland and scattered settlements, with the village of Bothel serving as a central point. The landscape is shaped by the River Ellen, which flows through the parish. Economic activity is largely based on agriculture, with some local services supporting the community.

The ward includes several smaller hamlets and is traversed by the A596 road, providing a key transport link. The surrounding fells and open countryside define much of its character. A small stone bridge in Bothel, dating from the 18th century, crosses the river near the site of the old mill. This setting offers views towards the higher ground of the Lake District fells to the south.
