Appledene

Appledene is situated between the 6th and 7th Milestone road-side markers on the Snaefell Mountain Course used for the Isle of Man TT races on the primary A1 Douglas to Peel road in the parish of German in the Isle of Man.

Appledene was part of the Four Inch Course used for the Tourist Trophy automobile car races held in the Isle of Man between 1905 and 1922, and was part of the course used for 1905 International Motor-Cycle Cup Races held in the Isle of Man. It is part of the Snaefell Mountain Course used since 1911 for the Isle of Man TT and from 1923 for the Manx Grand Prix races.

Before the start of racing for the 1953 Manx Grand Prix, the cottage at Appledene Corner on the primary A1 Douglas to Peel road was demolished.^[1]
