 Britain Update 51
Appleby is a good base for a visit to the Eden Valley; large enough to boast a variety of accommodation and services, yet small enough to give a feeling of "getting away from it all".
Appleby Castle was founded in 1100 by Ranulf le Meschin, who may have founded the town at the same time.
Eventually the castle passed to the de Clifford family, and around 1688 the hall block was remodelled into a luxurious mansion.

Growing towns like Carlisle, Kendal, Appleby, Penrith, Millom and Dalton were granted charters to signify their rising importance.
The English grip on the area had been strengthened when the diocese of Carlisle was created in 1133, but Scottish military power grew in the 14th century and many families defended themselves in the pele towers and fortified houses and farms which still dot the landscape.

 Hissem_Mounsey-Heysham Line
In the 16th century there was here "a little castle built not long since by the Dacres, for their private defence." Nothing, however, now remains of this structure, the river Eden having washed away a great part of its foundations.
The Union of the Crowns in 1707 removed the cause for which the castle was erected and it was probably in a ruinous condition when the Rev. Charles Usher purchased it in 1682.
It was organised in 1881 as the county regiment of Cumberland and Westmorland, encompassing its Militia and Volunteer infantry and uniting two regular battalions, the 1st, a redesignation of the 34th Cumberland Regiment of Foot, and the 2nd, a redesignation of the 55th Westmorland Regiment of Foot.

While we were in the Falklands, we visited HMS Leeds Castle, which is an offshore patrol vessel more or less permanently stationed in the Falklands.
I hasten to add that we were all the more impressed by the way in which all those on HMS Penelope went about their tasks.

Reputed to be the Nazis most escape proof prison, this grim castle is the most notorious PoW camp in history with the distinction of being the only German prison that had more guards than prisoners.
The castle was specifically used to impound incorrigible, Allied officers who had repeatedly escaped from other camps but putting so many experienced serial escapers in one place proved to be a rather questionable idea.
When captured the result was three weeks in the solitary confinement block, however this didnt stop prisoners inventing even more elaborate means of escaping, even catapulting themselves out of high windows and of course the famous design and building of a sophisticated glider.
