Known as ‘The Gateway to the Dales’, Skipton is a bustling market town with a popular open-air market taking place every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday on it's award winning High Street, with Skipton High Street recently winning the Great Street of the Year Award 2009.
The magnificent
Skipton
Castle guards over the town. There are a huge variety of shops to suit all tastes and fancies, the Craven Court Shopping Arcade, an indoor swimming pool at
Aireville
Park , the Little Theatre and a host of places to stay, eat and drink!
The Leeds-Liverpool canal runs through the centre of Skipton so visitors can stroll along the towpath or drift along the canal waters on a traditional barge!
The town is called a gateway for good reason - there is easy road access to the whole of the Yorkshire Dales and
Harrogate area.
