The Horse Fair, Appleby-in-Westmorland. An annual event where
every June, the Romany families of Europe – many in colourful,
horse-drawn caravans – converge on nearby Gallow's Hill
for this world-famous, week-long event. The fair began in 1685
when a charter was granted by James II. For many centuries, sheep
and cattle were also sold at Appleby. The horses are washed in
the River Eden before being shown off to prospective buyers.
On the outskirts of Appleby.
Appleby Castle is located
in the town centre, off Boroughgate. The Norman keep was restored
by Lady Anne Clifford. In the centre of Appleby.
