The old town of Appleby-in-Westmorland is situated in a loop of the River Eden, with the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the Lake District Fells visible on the western horizon. This is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England, set in the green Eden Valley and steeped in history. It was previously the county town of Westmorland. Appleby is set between the Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales, allowing visitors to take advantage of the contrasting landscapes of these two National Parks, as well as various walking and cycling options and the town's superb leisure complex. Appleby boasts a great assortment of quality independent businesses, cafes, and delicatessens that sell locally created food and crafts. Boroughgate, a charming thoroughfare with several notable old buildings, runs through the centre of the town and connects the well-preserved Norman Castle with the beautiful mediaeval Church of St. Lawrence. Appleby is a significant stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, one of Britain's most beautiful railway rides, and many ancient steam trains still run along this line and over the historic and awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. This is a great holiday location, with the pleasant Ullswater and the beautiful Lake District both within close reach.
