April 2026. Skipton.
I seem to have upset my many esteemed Yorkshire readers, something to do with gravy, so to redeem myself here’s a post on saving yourself £12.80 on your visit to Skipton Castle.
OK, you won’t actually get inside the castle by walking round the woods, but there’s no pub inside the walls anyway, making it a unique building in Skipton.
The woods path is really great, the views of the embattlements are unencumbered, and you can make a Japanese tourist’s day by confirming that yes, this is really Aysgarth Falls.
Make sure they pronounce it properly.
Lots of art,
running streams that make you grateful your next loo stop is 10 minutes away
and the glories of the English Spring laid out for free.
That’s £12.80 to spend on the next three pints.
