The Appleby Group is a lithostratigraphical term referring to the succession of Permian Period aeolian and fluviatile rock strata which occur in northwest England and beneath the Irish Sea in the United Kingdom.[1]
The Appleby Group unconformably overlies a variety of older rock strata. It is succeeded (overlain) by the Cumbrian Coast Group [2]
