Map of the UK

Appleton-le-Moors is a small village and civil parish on the western fringe of the North York Moors in North Yorkshire, sitting above the sweep of the Vale of Pickering. Its name points to the moorland setting and medieval origins, and the village is characterised by traditional stone cottages, lanes and immediate access to heather-clad moorland and rolling farmland.

Historically agricultural, the local economy still leans on farming but now also benefits from rural tourism and people commuting to nearby market towns such as Pickering. It retains a quiet, community feel with historic buildings and good access for walkers and cyclists exploring the national park, making it typical of the small, tight-knit settlements that punctuate this part of North Yorkshire.
