Places to see in ( Skipton - UK )
Skipton is a market town and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. Historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire, Skipton is on the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to the south of the Yorkshire Dales, 16 miles (26 km) northwest of Bradford and 38 miles (61 km) west of York.
Skipton Castle was built in 1090 as a wooden motte-and-bailey by Robert de Romille, a Norman baron. In the 12th century William le Gros strengthened it with a stone keep to repel attacks from the Kingdom of Scotland to the north, the castle elevated Skipton from a poor dependent village to a burgh administered by a reeve. The protection offered by Skipton Castle during the Middle Ages encouraged the urbanisation of the surrounding area, and during times of war and disorder the town attracted an influx of families. It is now one of the most complete and best preserved medieval castles in England and is open to the public.
Skipton became a prosperous market town, trading sheep and woollen goods: its name derives from the Old English sceap (sheep) and tun (town or village). A market stemming from its formative years still survives. In the 19th century, Skipton emerged as a small mill town connected to the major cities by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and its branch Thanet Canal, (known locally as 'Springs branch canal'), but during the 20th century Skipton's economy shifted to tourism, aided by its historic architecture and proximity to the Yorkshire Dales. Since 1974, Skipton has been the seat of Craven District Council. The Skipton Building Society was founded in the town.
Today, main events in Skipton include the annual heritage event Skipton Sheep Day which takes place on the first Sunday in July on Skipton High Street and showcases what Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales has to offer with demonstrations, stalls, entertainment and food on offer.
Skipton lies close to the junction of the A65 road (from Leeds to the Lake District) and the A59 from York to Liverpool. Skipton railway station gives access southbound to regular services for Leeds and Bradford on the electrified Airedale Line; northbound services connect to Lancaster, Morecambe and Carlisle; the latter route is along the scenic Settle-Carlisle Railway, passing over the Ribblehead Viaduct. Skipton bus station was rebuilt in 2009. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs through Skipton and is a popular destination for tourists, with walking and boat hire.

Bewildered Family Guide to Yorkshire - Skipton
The latest Bewildered Family Guide to Yorkshire video is set in Skipton. Skipton is known as the Gateway to the Dales, but I don’t think that does it justice. A gate is a functional item leading to the beauty of the garden, and Skipton is much more than functional. But I guess “The Really Ornate, Interesting and Historically Significant Gateway to the Dales” wouldn’t fit on the signs. Take a look at the video.
Skipton is a great place to bring the family. The town is pretty, with plenty of places to eat and a castle! It’s meant to be one of the best preserved castles of its era and Elsa certainly had a lot of fun running around, pretending to be a knight.
The Craven Museum was a decent stop on our tour at the time and, after its renovation, it will be even more of a must-visit destination for families in Skipton.
I didn’t have time to fit this into the video, and their sister cafe already featured in the Keighley guide video, but we stopped off after the day’s activities at Cake’ole in Skipton. I love the decor, the attitude and everything about these eateries. They have such character and it really makes them stand out.
There’s also the matter of the amazing cakes on offer, including a gigantic blue concoction that Elsa snaffled to herself. Soon after came the biggest sugar rush of all time. Followed by this sugar crash.
Trust me, neither of my children have ever been the sort to just fall asleep on the sofa. But Elsa did. This was something major. I should also add that my kids don’t generally eat this much sugar. I do bed time, so there’s no way I’d let them. It would make my life much more difficult.
As you will have noticed from the video, a couple of activities are out of town. Skipton is a great place to base yourself to visit the south of the Yorkshire Dales. Places like Billy Bob’s Ice Cream Parlour and Hesketh Farm Park are perfect for kids of all ages. Another destination for families is Bolton Abbey, which boasts some dramatic ruins as well as a host of fantastic walks to help burn off all that cake. They also have special woodland walks aimed at kids for Hallowe’en and Christmas.

Bolton Abbey and walk along the River Wharfe In windy conditions
Bolton Abbey is the estate within which is located the ruined 12th-century Augustinian Bolton Priory in North Yorkshire.
The monastery was originally founded at Embsay in 1120. Led by a prior, Bolton Abbey was technically a priory, despite its name. It was founded in 1154 by the Augustinian order, on the banks of the River Wharfe. The land at Bolton, as well as other resources, were given to the order by Lady Alice de Romille of Skipton Castle in 1154. In the early 14th century Scottish raiders caused the temporary abandonment of the site and serious structural damage to the priory. The seal of the priory featured the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Child and the phrase sigillum sancte Marie de Bolton.

Rylstone Cross is based in Rylstone village standing proud on an outcrop of rock. The current cross was put in place of the original wooden cross in 1995 and over looks a magnificent view.
Not much drone footage in this video as it really was not safe to fly especially with a school group wandering the area.
