Look around Skipton and you will see plenty of historical architecture. Skipton Castle, built in 1090, is one of the best preserved mediaeval castles, while a mill, built in 1310, is one of the oldest in the area. The town hall acts as a museum, but if you prefer to see history come to life, come during the summer for Skipton Sheep Day, celebrating the heritage and culture of this interesting town through food and fun market stalls. Similarly, there is an annual gala, great to take part in with the kids, where the public parades through Aireville Park, finishing the event with music and fireworks. On the other hand, the Skipton Christmas market has been voted as one of the top in the whole country, and is also worth checking out. To behold Skipton in all its glory, hop aboard a boat on the Leeds and Liverpool canal, and let yourself take in all the views while relaxing on deck. If you would like to blow off some steam after, Skipton offers everything from swimming to cycling to squash. A wonderful place to spend a leisurely holiday is Skipton.
