Visit Skipton

We’re situated about 10 miles outside of Skipton, a beautiful and traditional North Yorkshire market town. There’s loads to do in Skipton, from gift shopping and visiting the markets, to exploring Skipton Castle, a local landmark which is ever popular with our guests. The walk down to Skipton is quite a long one, but it is indeed worth a visit - just make sure you bring some good walking boots, and a map!

Malham is accessible via car, so, pack your things, take a packed lunch and head across the Yorkshire Dales for the day, you won’t be disappointed!

Walks in Grassington

A little closer to home is Grassington, a popular location with easy access to the Yorkshire Dales.
