Our Top Hotels
Steeped in rich history and character, Skipton is a market town and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. Known as 'sheep-town' from its Old English root words, Skipton was traditionally a bustling hub trading sheep and woolen goods. Today, due to its compelling historic architecture and proximity to the Yorkshire Dales, it has transformed into a hotspot of tourism.
Skipton Castle, impeccably preserved since its inception in 1090, attract history enthusiasts from all corners. Regular train services to nearby locales, coupled with accessibility via A65 and A59 roads, make Skipton all the more beckoning. Moreover, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal slicing through the town, adds to its lure for wandering tourists.
When to visit Skipton
Skipton's charm is in full swing between June to September, the warmest months offering ideal weather conditions for exploration. These months also mark the peak of the tourist season, filling the streets with an infectious vibrancy. Nevertheless, those who prefer a quieter visit, can choose November, Skipton's least busy tourism month, for a more leisurely exploration.
However, with its vibrant Skipton Sheep Day, delightful Christmas Market, and colourful Skipton Gala on the annual events calendar, there's truly no dull moment in Skipton. Prepare to be charmed all year round, in this quintessential English town.
