During your time in town, be sure to take a walk or cruise along the banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, brush up on local history at the Craven Museum & Gallery, sample some delicious food and drink at Skipton Market, and roam the battlements of the historic Skipton Castle. Whilst you're in the region, head into the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where the Linton Falls, Stump Cross Caverns, and the Parcevall Hall Gardens are all waiting to be enjoyed.

Known as “The Gateway to the Dales”, Skipton is well placed for visiting all that the Dales has to offer, whilst York, the Lake District and the West Coast are also within easy motoring distance. This lovely market town has much to interest the enthusiastic visitor, boasting an ancient castle open to the public, a beautiful old parish church and a colourful market occupying the cobbled setts each side of the high street. In 2014, The Sunday Times named Skipton as Britain's "best place to live" and two years later placed it among the nine best towns in Yorkshire and the North-East. Steam railways with regular excursions are available at Embsay and Bolton Abbey, and the Leeds to Liverpool Canal passes through Skipton with the 1 mile long Foulridge Tunnel and the 5-rise locks at Bingley within a short travel. Golf, swimming, squash, tennis and snooker are all available locally and the excellent public transport means the car can be left at home!

It was very convenient and handy to have allocated parking. The welcome back of cake, wine and milk was a lovely gesture. We would certainly book Flat Cap cottage again
