Appleby-in-Westmorland lies in a loop of the River Eden and is overlooked by the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Lake District Fells showing on the western horizon. Appleby is nestled between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, so guests can enjoy numerous walking and cycling opportunities as well as the leisure centre in the town. Appleby has shops, cafes and delicatessens selling locally produced food and crafts. It is a major stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, and still today many of the old steam trains wend their way along this line and over the historic Ribblehead viaduct.
