Why Choose Appleby-in-Westmorland for a Holiday Park Break?

For caravan holidays, the main advantage is location. Appleby sits between the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North Pennines, so it suits visitors who prefer touring, walking, heritage and countryside days out rather than a holiday built around one beach or one resort town.
