North Yorkshire’s Skipton is the ‘gateway to the Yorkshire Dales’, but before you go wandering thataway from a Skipton campsite, wander thisaway to Skipton Castle, a consistent contender in our ‘fave North Yorkshire castles’ crown. We could live in this medieval fortress, staking our claim to the town from the top of its watch tower, and indeed must enviously report that the Clifford clan dwell here still. Online stalking Careful research has not revealed whether we can rent a room in the castle, but we will continue to carefully monitor the situation.

Aside from feeling jealous in castles, camping at Skipton means there’s quite a lot to skip to… In town, take the Town Trail, Adventure Trail or Millennium Trail to see the sights among the cobbled streets; Skipton’s famous market, dating back to medieval times, trades on the High Street every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Around town, join up with the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway, wander Skipton Moor or walk the Dales Highway from Skipton to Settle. The Skipton Castle Woods Walk starts at, obv, Skipton Castle – make it a circular holiday by finishing up with another envious gaze at the fortress.
