Appleby in Westmorland is a small market town in the Eden valley. It's overlooked by the Pennine range to the east and there are views across to the Lake District in the west.
The town has a good selection of shops and cafes. At the northern end of the wide main street is the Moot Hall dated at 1596. The Norman Appleby castle is a private home but is open to the public to visit, stay and eat. Check applebycastle.org for opening times, prices and events.
It's a great stop or base on a bike ride around north-eastern Cumbria.
