Almost any trip to the southern dales is going to pass through SKIPTON , particularly if you want to see Wharfedale, five miles to the east. Apart from practical advantages, however, the town's worth a few hours in its own right, particularly on one of its four weekly market days (Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat), when the streets and pubs are filled with what seems like half the Dales population.
Sceptone , or "Sheeptown", was a settlement long before the arrival of the battling Normans, whose Castle , located at the top of the High Street (March-Sept Mon-Sat 10am-6pm, Sun noon-6pm; Oct-Feb Mon-Sat 10am-4pm, Sun noon-4pm; £4.40) provided the basis for the present fortress, among England's best preserved, thanks mainly to the efforts of Lady Anne Clifford, who rebuilt much of her family seat between 1650 and 1675 following the pillage of the Civil War. Little survives in the way of furniture or fittings, but starting with the proud battlements - emblazoned with the Clifford cry, Désormais ("Henceforth"!) - the castle very much looks the part. Lady Anne also displayed her restorative skills on the Church of the Holy Trinity , in front of the castle at the top of the High Street (summer daily 9am-4.30pm; winter daily 9am-dusk; £1 donation requested), which has a fine bossed fifteenth-century roof, beautiful chancel screen (dating from 1533) and a twelfth-century font crowned with a towering wooden Jacobean cover. Down the High Street, on the first floor of the town hall, drop into the entertaining Craven Museum (April-Sept Mon & Wed-Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 2-5pm; Oct-March Mon & Wed-Fri 1.30-5pm, Sat 10am-4pm; free), a brief introduction to the geology, flora, fauna, folk history and archeology of the region cradled between Wharfedale and the Lancashire border. The alleys on the western side of the High Street emerge onto the banks of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal , which runs right through the centre of Skipton. You can rent boats from the Canal Basin, off Coach Street: Pennine Boat Trips at Waterside Court (tel 01756/790829), next to the George Fisher outdoor store, runs daily canal cruises (April-Oct; £3.50).
