Terrific View of the Appleby Horse Fair aftermart

This is the horrifying aftermath of the contentious Appleby Horse Fair, which drew tens of thousands of visitors to Cumbria.

At the end of Europe’s largest Gypsy and Traveller horse event, cardboard boxes, camping chairs, plastic bags, empty bottles, and beer crates were scattered throughout the field.

The seagulls rummaging among the waste dumps outside the little town of Appleby-in-Westmorland had an easy feast.

Hundreds of caravans, carts, and horses may still be seen at the location, according to photographs.

Around 30,000 people traveled from all around Africa to attend the annual event, which began last Thursday.

The Gypsy, Traveller, and Roma communities accounted for a third of the total.

Local locals were left to clean up the debris after the four-day event after the throng dispersed.

On Sunday, the Appleby Fair Community group used the hashtag #ApplebyHorseFairNeedsToChange to tweet photographs of Eden River.

The message stated, ‘Human filth, rubbish, and vandalism.’ ‘All down one of Appleby’s most lovely locations. This has to be cleaned as soon as possible since it is a health threat!’

They also uploaded a photo of ‘human excrement’ on the ground near the Jubilee Bridge, which they described as “human excrement.”

Residents in the nearby village of Kirby Stephen expressed their displeasure after seeing a military memorial covered with discarded fast food wrappers.

‘Travellers have desecrated the World War One memorial at Kirkby Stephen,’ a merchant told the Mirror.

‘Many of us in the town have relatives commemorated on it and it has gone down very badly. Despite raised police patrols no one has been apprehended.’

Appleby Fair officials praised the efforts of the ‘hard-working’ clean-up crews in a Facebook post.

They were seen picking litter off the streets of the town, dressed in orange uniforms.

Eden District Council contracted teams began emptying bins and cleaning up after the revellers on Saturday, according to the post.

Appleby Horse Fair has previously drew widespread condemnation from animal welfare organizations such as the RSPCA and local residents fed up with the shambles.
