Historic Appleby enjoys a reputation as one of the prettiest market towns. Sitting alongside the River Eden, it offers something for everyone – history buffs will enjoy the architecture evident in the town’s buildings, and Appleby Castle, open for visits, outside theatre events, comedy nights and outdoor cinema events throughout the year. Shops, cafés and restaurants offer local crafts alongside local cheeses! Look out for High Cross on Boroughgate, which is the site of the original cheese market. For train enthusiasts, or those looking to enjoy a journey through the stunning surrounding areas, Appleby is on the Settle to Carlisle scenic railway line. Steam trains run weekly through the summer months and the Flying Scotsman passes through on the line from time to time – a sight to behold.
Besides the immediate area, the North Pennines and Alston are just minutes from the cottage. The spectacular route up Hartside Pass reaches a summit of almost 2000 feet with wonderful views of the Lake District, Pennine fells and down onto the Eden Valley. The Yorkshire Dales and High Force in Teesdale are also a short drive away. The Northern Lake District including Ullswater and the villages dotting the lake shores, are well worth a visit and just half an hour’s drive away, with popular market towns of Keswick and Penrith offering something for everyone and a fabulous mix of retailers, cafés, traditional inns and international restaurants.

Well where do I start?…….easy, there is not a thing that our holiday could be faulted on, absolutely perfect. We were celebrating a joint birthday and wanted a few days away in total comfort and tranquility and Christopher’s cottage totally fitted the brief. Comfort in every way, furniture, decor, comfort and fully equipped to make a break away extremely enjoyable. The bathroom facilities, one upstairs and one downstairs was brilliant as was the fully functioning and quaint roll topped bath outside! Will return when I need a relaxing, get away from everything break again and soon I hope.
