A day trip to Skipton

I always wanted to go to Skipton because it had a few waterfalls I wanted to explore so here is our day trip fron London.

We first headed to the town centre to visit the Skipton Museum which was free to visit. It was small museum but it detailed the history of Skipton so well and even my grumpy teenagers enjoyed it.

We then went to Skipton Woods behind Skipton Castle. We didn't want to visit Skipton Castle but there is that option for you if you will like to explore a castle. Skipton Woods is a nice woods by the river. You can do the circular trail which won't take much long. It is very nice and quiet despite it being in the town centre. It also had waterfalls which was a highlight for me.

After that, we headed to Bolton Priory which was stunning. There's a few walking trails through beautiful woods and waterfalls. Walking through the woods, there were also games dotted around which made the walk fun for the kids. 

There is also a steam rail which will take you quite close to Bolton Priory from the next stop after Skipton.

We had a great day out in Skipton amongst beautiful nature and fresh air!
