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.
About 10 miles northwest of Kirkby Stephen.
Brough Castle, Cumbria
- Like many other castles in this area, Brough was restored in
the 17th century by Lady Anne Clifford. The Castle consists of
a large mound, on which there is a range of buildings with a
circular corner tower and the remnants of an older four storey
keep. It is owned by English Heritage. About 4 miles north of
Kirkby Stephen. |
