Town: In a loop of the River Eden, the mediaeval town of Appleby-in-Westmorland is surrounded by the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the Lake District Fells visible on the western horizon. This charming town in the north of England, which was formerly the county town of Westmorland, is situated in the verdant Eden Valley and is rich in history. Because Appleby lies tucked between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, visitors may take advantage of the two National Parks' strikingly different landscapes, as well as the town's outstanding leisure facilities and a variety of walking and cycling options. There are many high-quality independent stores, cafes, and delicatessens in Appleby that sell goods made in the area. At the centre of the community, Boroughgate connects the lovely mediaeval Church of St. Lawrence with the well-preserved Norman Castle and features a number of remarkable old structures. On the Settle-Carlisle Railway, one of the most picturesque rail rides in Britain, Appleby is a significant halt. Even today, many of the ancient steam trains wind their way along this line and over the revered and majestic Ribblehead viaduct.
