Appleby-in-Westmorland Hotels and Guest Houses

Appleby-in-Westmorland is located in the non-metropolitan county of Cumbria. Cumbria lies in North West England and has a population of almost half a million. In contrast Appleby has a very modest population of over 2600. Appleby used to be in the historical county of Westmorland, and for the sake of uniqueness Appleby-in-Westmorland became the official name of the town.

The town relies on tourism as the primary source of income. The geographical exclusivity of the town attracts tourists from all across the country. The close proximity with the Lake District and Howgill Fells acts as a magnet for the scenery lovers. Local people show great hospitability and the local government has taken major steps for the facilitation of the incoming tourists.

Appleby Castle which is privately owned is a spectacular structure but the castle remains closed throughout the summer. Private owners of the castle should collaborate with the local council to keep the castle open throughout the year. The Norman architectural aspects are fully visible in the castle and are of great value for those who have keen interest in the history.

Appleby Horse Fair is the major event of the year for the town. It is held in June and attracts animal lovers from the neighboring towns. The historical aspect of this fair is quite significant as people of Appleby have participated in this grand fair for almost three hundred years. Trade fairs take place throughout the year but a major part of the population work outside the town.
