Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field
Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field

A still-thriving market takes place four times a week and the town provides essential amenities, rainy-day activities, outdoors shops and pubs. But more than that; Skipton has a charm all of its own and a history that's well-worth exploring. With a 900-year-old castle and enviable canalside position, it's a popular place with visitors and holidaymakers and there are plenty of camping and glamping sites in the area. As always, only the very best have made it onto our list...
