What’s not to love about Skipton? Immense history, a rich culture, independent shops, food & drink galore, a famous market, an iconic castle, stunning countryside and, perhaps most of all, friendly, fiercely proud and passionate Yorkshire people.

We love our town, and it’s important to us that you love it too!

So, here is our guide to Skipton, to help you get the most out of your visit. Discover exclusive deals and exciting trails to help you uncover the hidden gems of Skipton.

For a unique family experience in Skipton you can also download the DOGS’ DALES Augmented Reality app! This mobile app trail takes you through a short trail around Skipton town centre where you can conjure up cute dogs to interact with. The dogs will ask you fun questions linked to local heritage and reward you with a treat voucher for a participating business. During the trail you can also dance with the dogs and pose for fun pictures to share!

It’s great free fun with friends and family of all ages!
