PRINCE Charles has concluded a two-day trip to Cumbria by spending this morning in an Eden town.

Yesterday, the Prince of Wales arrived in the county by helicopter when he landed at Sedbergh, and went on to visit BAE Systems at Barrow before visiting locations on the west coast.

He spent day two of his visit in Appleby where he met locals to see how the town was progressing in its recovery from the December 2015 floods, while also being given a tour of Appleby Creamery.

During his visit Prince Charles was also given an award in recognition of his contribution to tourism in Cumbria.

The award, presented by Ian Stephens, managing director of Cumbria Tourism, was a personalised print of iconic Herdwick sheep in a Lake District setting.

The Herdwick sheep print is the work of celebrated photographer Ian Lawson, whose Herdwick exhibition at Rheged in 2015 was enjoyed by His Royal Highness on a previous visit to the county.

Mr Stephens said: "The Prince of Wales has been extremely supportive of Cumbria and helped communities and businesses through some difficult times.

"He has always been willing to come to the county in times of crisis and so many of the residents and businesses that we’ve spoken to have a very real sense that he genuinely cares about what happens here."
