Location, Location, Location - Location is as important as the quality of your accommodation when you are planning a holiday. No matter how gorgeous the property, if it’s too far away from the places you want to see then you’ll only spend hours commuting, and where’s the fun in that? Staying in Skipton not only gives a wide choice of excellent amenities on the doorstep but also means that you are close to the Yorkshire Dales National Park as well as the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the Forest of Bowland AONB. Walking, climbing, mountain biking, horse riding and plenty of other activities are all easily accessible.
Excellent road links make it possible to plan day trips to Leeds, Harrogate and York, giving you the means to satisfy your yearning for big sky views, city sightseeing and fantastic shopping.
Skipton Attractions - There is lots to see and do in Skipton itself, making it an excellent holiday destination even if you only stay for a few days. Skipton Castle still dominates the town’s architecture, much as it did after its construction in the 11th Century. The castle has had a fascinating history, including playing an essential role in the War of the Roses, and is certainly worth a visit.
Skipton market runs every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. You can’t miss the stalls as they set up on the High Street in the centre of town, selling food, flowers, clothing, homewares and a huge array of other items. Skipton is a favourite choice for day-trippers, especially in summer and for the Christmas markets in early December, so get there early to get the best bargains before the coaches arrive. Craven Court and a wealth of independent retailers around town ensure that shopping is a pleasure on every day of the week, not only on market day.
The Leeds to Liverpool Canal passes through Skipton and a leisurely cruise with a tour operator like Skipton Boat Trips is a relaxing way to enjoy the scenery. If you prefer to skipper the boat yourself, then contact a local business such as Pennine Cruisers who offer daily boat hire together with advice about the best places to stop to make the most of your day.
Other popular attractions in and around Skipton include the Craven Museum and Gallery, High Corn Mill, Thornton Hall Farm Country Park and the Bolton Abbey Estate.
