2 Unity Street

About this property

Tucked away in the old market town of Barnoldswick, Lancashire on the outskirts of the Yorkshire Dales National Park is this characterful two-bedroom cottage, 2 Unity Street. Benefitting from a woodburning stove, close proximity to the local amenities and pet-friendly living, 2 Unity Street welcomes four guests, ideal for a family seeking to uncover the delights of this lovely region. After a long day of traversing your local surroundings, take the weight off your feet in the homely sitting room, clicking on the Smart TV ready to catch up on your favourite shows or saviour a movie marathon as the woodburning stove roars away next to you.

In the well-equipped kitchen, get to grips with a superb range of appliances to prepare a delicious homecooked meal, accompanied by a cold tipple of your choice; if you prefer to dine alfresco, venture out to the charmingly-presented courtyard where you can bask in your surroundings a little longer as you pooches play safely. When the evening draws to a close, escape to the first floor where a sleek bathroom resides, an idyllic post for a long soak before retiring for a well-deserved rest. In the morning, kickstart your itinerary with a peaceful stroll around Victory or Letcliffe Park or follow the canal before ending in one of several lovely pubs that reside close by including The Barlick Tap and McCulloughs Irish Bar, for a spot of lunch.

Further afield, challenge yourself to a hike up Pendle Hill, famous for its links to the Pendle Witch Trial, or venture into the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Yorkshire Dales National Park, home to Gisburn Forest and Stocks, Browsholme Hall and Tithe Barn, the Bowland Wild Boar Park and Ingleton Waterfalls. Well-located to also explore all that Skipton, Gargrave and Ilkley have to offer, you’ll never be short of things to see or do. Enjoy all of this and more from the lovely base of 2 Unity Street.

Only eight miles from Skipton, the entryway to the Yorkshire Dales, the old market town of Barnoldswick is located in the Pennine hills amid gorgeous, gently rolling countryside on the Lancashire/Yorkshire border. A flourishing town in the centre of England, commonly referred to as Barlick, is proud of its manufacturing heritage, which spans from a significant textile sector to the production of modern aircraft engines at the Rolls Royce factory. The town is traversed by Pennine cycling and bridleways, and the magnificent summit section of the Leeds & Liverpool canal meanders past the town and its bustling port. Excellent walks along the old Roman road at Brogden Lane, the canal towpath, and the undulating heather moorland of Weets and Pendle Hill, which boast some of the best vistas in the nation, are also among the wonderful walking terrain. Numerous local businesses in the town offer a wide selection of locally produced goods, including baked artisan loaves adorning bakery windows and locally raised meat on butcher blocks. A beautiful old parish church, an ancient castle that is available to the public, and a vibrant market that fills the cobbled setts on either side of the high street can all be found in Skipton, a nearby wonderful old market town. The Copper Dragon Brewery, which launched in 2002 and is highly regarded in the camra rankings, was named the best brewery in Britain in 2008 by the Academy of Urbanism. At Embsay and Bolton Abbey, steam trains with scheduled excursions are available, and the Leeds to Liverpool Canal passes through Skipton, with the one-mile-long Foulridge Tunnel and the five-rise locks at Bingley nearby. The first leg of the Tour de France was held there in 2014, attracting numerous tourists from all over the world to this beautiful region.
