Skipton Castle

Very interesting 900 year old castle in Skipton with old Banqueting room, dungeon etc. Nice woodland walks in nearby Skipton Castle Wood.
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.

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.
