SKIPTON CASTLE in Yorkshire, England. This iphone panorama was taken from the walk along the Skipton Canal. I didn't go into the castle this time; however, the entrance is on the other side of the picture, a bit to the right. It was lovely to see the castle from this perspective because it is quite big! Skipton Castle is well worth visiting and full of beautiful nooks and crannies. There is an entrance fee, but so worthwhile! Skipton is also a great base to explore the surrounding Yorkshire Dales #NationalPark.
Skipton Castle in Yorkshire
The solid walls of Skipton Castle have helped it endure the test of time. Enjoy the architectural features of this majestic structure from afar or find out if there are any tours.

You'll soon learn why this Skipton fortified complex is a hit with travelers. If you're searching for more to do and see here, Bolton Priory, Lund's Tower, and Thornton Hall Farm Country Park are in this area too. They won't take you long to get to from Skipton Castle.

8.6/10 Excellent! (99 reviews)
The room was in reasonable condition, downside was cleanliness, I.e dusty, microwave was quite dirty, the bathroom was very cold! There was no hangers for coats/clothing in the wardrobe . Overall it’s a very convenient place for short stays not too far from town, easy access and safe.

The need to have ID for every adult in the flat for "health and safety" reasons is ridiculous. The flat itself was very nice though.

This is beautiful Bolton Abbey in Wharfedale at the foot of the Yorkshire Dales. The now ruined abbey was founded in 1154 but dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539. Dare to cross the sixty stepping stones to cross the river but beware of the Strid with its dangerous eddies of water.
