Map of the UK

Appleton East and West is a small, rural civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England, formed from two adjoining hamlets surrounded by farmland. The name derives from Old English for an apple‑orchard farm, hinting at a long agricultural past and a landscape of rolling fields, hedgerows and traditional stone farm buildings.

Today the parish retains a quiet, agricultural character with a tight‑knit community, occasional historic farmsteads and lanes used by walkers; many residents work on the land or commute to nearby market towns, and the area is prized for its sense of continuity and rural charm.
