The charming old village of Newby sits in a secluded location in the upper Eden valley, between the northern Pennines and the Lake District. The area, with its better-known neighbours of Appleby and Penrith, is surrounded by lovely rolling landscapes and is often described as having a special, unchanging beauty. The village itself is surrounded by open fields supporting cattle, sheep and horses and offers a delightful village pond providing a haven for ducks, wild flowers and marsh iris. The nearby historic town of Appleby is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. A major stop on the scenic Settle to Carlisle railway line, Appleby is well worth a visit with its 15th Century architecture, a Norman Castle and the 300 year old annual horse fair. With the delightful Pooley Bridge and the magnificent lake at Ullswater just a short drive away, this is an ideal holiday location.
