*************

Appleby-in-Westmorland is a market town and civil parish in the Eden district, in the county of Cumbria, in North West England. It is situated within a loop of the River Eden. In 2011 the parish had a population of 3,048.^[1] It is in the historic county of Westmorland, of which it is the traditional county town.

The town's name was simply Appleby, until the local government changes of 1974. When a successor parish was formed for the former borough of Appleby, the council effected a change in the town's name, to preserve the historic county's name.^[2]

The annual Appleby Horse Fair, a four day weekend event, is held in the first week of June. It brings about 10000 Gypsies and Irish Travellers and typically 30000 others from all over Britain. The earliest record of the fair, a charter from Henry II, is from the 12th century but it is believed to have a longer tradition^[5]. Appleby Agricultural Society, established in 1841^[6], hosts the annual Appleby Agricultural Show. More recently the town has held an annual themed carnival. Other events in and around Appleby can be found on the town's community website^[7].
