At the heart of the town stands Skipton Castle, one of the best-preserved medieval castles in England, offering a fascinating glimpse into over 900 years of history. The bustling High Street, lined with independent shops, traditional pubs, and cafés, is home to Skipton's famous market, which has drawn visitors for centuries.
