Overview

This very popular destination just below the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park offers a range of walking possibilities. From the canalside towpath to the heights of Skipton Moor in the southeast, and Malham Moor to the northeast. With its castle to explore and lots of pubs and cafes for refreshments this is always going to be a "sell out" as far as coach seats go. So book yours early to avoid disappointment.
