Bed and breakfast in Skipton. Skipton is an attractive
market town serving a large rural area. Just outside the National
Park boundary, Skipton prides itself on being 'The Gateway to
the Dales'. Skipton was granted to the de Romille family in 1066,
their building of a fortress castle led to a regular market being
established for local produce and trade, which continues to the
present day with a colourful market 4 days a week. From the castle
and nearby Holy Trinity Church the town grew around the market
place. The arrival of the Leeds-Liverpool canal in 1770 brought
industrial growth to Skipton, with cloth making becoming a major
activity. The railway brought increased growth to the town. Today
Skipton is a major commercial and shopping centre with many places
of interest to visit. Also see Skipton
