Well known as 'The Gateway to the Dales', Skipton has a bustling high street, which has won an award in 2008 for being the best shopping street in Britain and Ireland. Visitors will enjoy the lovely surroundings, the beautiful views across the Aire Valley and the delightful canalside walk into the town centre.
