The Moors Inn, Appleton

Appleton-le-Moors is a North Yorkshire new-town - laid out recently in the 12th Century!

And its a near-perfect example of a planned medieval Yorkshire village.

If you drive or cycle down the valley from Rosedale Abbey to visit Appleton-le-Moors, you'll find a wide main street which originally gave room for common grazing of animals all those years ago.

You'll also see that each "toft" or house-plot runs to a back lane; and that the tenant farmer on each toft would have a farm house, animal houses and a barn. 

Appleton also has some appealing local architecture; with the village school and church having a distinctive French Gothic style.  Both were constructed in the 1860s by the architect J.L. Pearson.

So a gentle stroll around Appleton will certainly reward any visitor; and a visit to the Moors Inn in the centre of the village will sustain you for the trip back to Rosella Cottage!
