Skipton
Skipton is a market town sitting prettily on the Yorkshire side of the Pennine Hills and at the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It’s been there for at least a thousand years; Skipton Castle was originally constructed by Normans in the eleventh century to defend against invasion from Scotland. You’ll see plenty evidence of its more-recent history as a key mill town from the age of the industrial revolution -- old mill buildings remain, many of them now converted into swish apartments. The Leeds and Liverpool canal carried materials in and out of those mills from the turn of the 19th century and still runs through the town today, now more of a picturesque walking route and home to passing residential narrowboats as well as an annual Waterway Festival and a marina where you can take a romantic, idyllic boat ride for the afternoon.
Leeds-Bradford airport is 35 minutes away. Trains run from Leeds, Bradford, and Lancaster, and there’s a direct service to London daily. The station is also on the Settle to Carlisle line, one of the most scenic train routes in the world.
