Skipton Castle is right in the central part of the town at the top of High Street and easily accessible. It is fantastically well preserved example of a medieval castle, "slighted" at the time of the civil war and rebuilt thereafter. It is roofed throughout and has many rooms and chambers to explore.

Skipton has one of the best castles in the North in my opinion. It is a magnificent sight from the outside.and equally amazing inside.

This was a very pleasant visit, but the tour did not really take very long. At GBP6.10 for concessions, 3 of us paid just under GBP20.00 to get in. If there had been more visual it would have made it more interesting. Cafe/tea room sold good scones.

Plenty to see and very interesting Lovely yew tree in the centre

one of the best english castles close to town centre.

Very interesting (if you like that sort of thing), it was raining cats and dogs when we were there so did the tour using the very useful guide sheet, in super quick time.
