Skipton is a market town in north Yorkshire, England, located on both the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Skipton's name is derived from the Old English for Sheep and Town - it being so-named because of its prosperity over many years as a market town for sheep and woollen goods. Skipton is near to Embsay, Cononley, Oakworth, Cowling, Threshfield, and Gargrave and is one of more than 200 towns or villages in Yorkshire in which Go2 has cottages or holidays lets available. The closest cities are Leeds (population 443,247), Ripon (population 16,468), and Manchester (which has a population of 394,269 according to the 2001 Census).
With many great places to stay, and much to visit in the surrounding area, Skipton is an excellent base for a break in this part Yorkshire.
A visit here is well worth considering!

Sometimes given the nickname of “God’s Own County” thanks to its lush green countryside and wild expanses of moor land, Yorkshire is the largest county in England. It is home to over 800 attractions, from breweries to museums, castles to zoos, and World Heritage Sites to breathtaking rides. There are many popular seaside resorts along its coastline, including Whitby, Bridlington and Scarborough, as well as quieter villages and working harbours nestled among the rugged cliffs. The North York Moors, the Yorkshire Dales and part of the Peak District National Park offer wonderful opportunities for walkers, cyclists and climbers, as well as nature reserves for bird spotters and naturalists. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway carries more passengers than any other heritage railway in the UK and the National Railway Museum is to be found in the county capital city, York.

Travelling to or from Ireland? Don't forget the ferry! Not only does it give you
the freedom of taking your own car but it provides a superb experience of travelling
by sea and exploring the coastline. With convenient routes between Holyhead and Dublin, or Pembroke and Rosslare, we recommend
Irish Ferries for great, low-cost, transport. They are the leading Irish ferry company and provide both an excellent service, and excellent prices.
