Skipton market always great for scarves at great price. And we got to attend VJ ceremony. Very moving. Beautiful church too. And pole bowls at M&S.
I would say a must for a good Saturday. Lots of local shops, hand made cheese and jams, local cakes, tons of different merchandise and haven't seen so many charity shops in same place anywhere in UK.
A really lovely place, with lots of shops and plenty to explore. It is close to the canal barges, with some nice little nooks to walk through. It also has a castle and some beautiful churches and cathedrals.
Busy market, lovely traders and good bargains. Nice to see happy faces. Lots of shops still in business, beautiful scenery. Busy car park in the town centre but you can park in Morrisons for two and a half hours which is so generous. Well done to them and thank you.
Thats so iconic market, its very authentic. Love the vibes and architecture there
