Beckermet is a small village in the unitary area of Cumberland in north‑west England, set a short distance from the Irish Sea and beside the industrial complex at Sellafield. It retains a compact, rural character with a parish church that has medieval roots and the sort of local amenities - a village pub and community groups - typical of West Cumbrian villages.
The village’s history is a mix of agriculture and mining, and in recent decades its social and economic life has been influenced by employment at the nearby nuclear site. Beckermet also offers easy access to coastal walking and the wider region, with towns such as Egremont and Whitehaven nearby and the Lake District within a short drive.
