Appleby-in-Westmorland, a mediaeval town located in a valley of the River Eden, is surrounded by the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the Lake District Fells. This charming northern English town, once the seat of Westmorland’s county government, is nestled in the verdant Eden Valley. Guest can enjoy the beautiful views of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, as well as several hiking and cycling trails and the town’s wonderful leisure centre, while staying in Appleby.
Quality independent stores, cafes, and delicatessens in Appleby sell food and crafts made in the area.
Historic Boroughgate connects the Norman Castle and St. Lawrence’s Medieval Church, both of which are well-preserved examples of their respective periods. One of the most scenic rail routes in the United Kingdom, the Settle-Carlisle Railway, passes through Appleby on its way to Carlisle, and many of the old steam trains still travel this route, passing over the ancient and breathtaking Ribblehead bridge. Ullswater and the Lake District are just a short drive away, making this a great place for a holiday.
