Surrounding Area
There are four roads out of Appleton Wiske, each leading to a neighbouring village or hamlet. The road north leads to the tiny community of Picton whilst the road to the east - after crossing the railway line connecting Teesside to the East Coast Main Line - leads to West Rounton. Heading out of the village to the west the road runs up a small hill known locally as Cheesecake, which briefly follows the course of a minor Roman road, before passing through Hornby and into Great Smeaton. The southerly road forks, passing through Welbury on the eastern branch and through Deighton and on to Northallerton on the western one.
