Skipton

Just wanted to say thank you to the staff especially the lady platform manager who was incredibly nice and helpful but I didn’t get her name sorry. I lost my headphones and she retrieved it from the edge of the rails. Thank you once again for being so understanding and nice.

Nice Place to spend your day , the Skipton market is good place to spend your time. The Skipton Castle , the Church, the Park. Good nice Restaurants and Pub near the market place. You can enjoy boat rides and exploring the places.

I love skipton,walk along the canal, then a boat ride, had some of the best pork pies in Yorkshire , last time we were there,there was a street market,but not on this occasion as it was Sunday.

Nestling among the breathtaking beauty of the hills. Known as the 'Gateway to the Yorkshire dales' , Skipton is easily accessible by train thanks to excellent and very frequent rail links with Leeds, Bradford, Carlisle and London. Roads and parking can become crowded during market days & Bank Holidays so be warned. Skipton has a byegone charm of a typical bustling North Yorkshire Market town. It has one of the most complete castles in the country, well worth a visit, as is the nearby Embsay steam railway. Relax with a stroll along the canal which runs into the centre or retail therapy with the numerous local shops along the market square. For the more energetic, they can hike for miles along the trails and hills of the Yorkshire Dales, discover a new you?

Lovely station which provides frequent services to Leeds, Bradford and Cumbria. Plenty of seating available, and adequate shelter. Very easy to get to the town centre from the station, although direction signs may be beneficial.
