Skipton is just over 6 miles away, the gateway to the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park, and people travel for miles to visit this charming market town. Explore the famous 900-year old castle, romantic ruined priory and historic cobbled High Street. Whether you are looking to catch up on some serious walking in the beautiful Dales or taking time for relaxing strolls, this fascinating area has it all. Shop, pub and restaurant 1¼ miles.
