Skipton is well placed for visiting all that the Yorkshire Dales has to offer, whilst York, the Lake District and the West Coast are also within easy motoring distance. This market town has much to interest visitors, boasting an ancient castle open to the public, a beautiful old parish church and a market occupying the cobble sets each side of the high street. Enjoy a canal trip on a traditional barge or visit Embsay Steam Railway, which has regular steam train excursions at the weekend and is only one mile away.
