Skipton often earns the nickname "Gateway to the Dales," and its wide, market-worn High Street still hums with the trading spirit that built the town centuries ago. Beneath the towering Norman walls of Skipton Castle, you can settle into one of the many local cafes for a proper Yorkshire brew, browse restaurants serving hearty dales fare, or unpack your bags at one of the town's welcoming hotels before setting off along the canal.
