SKIPTON TOWN CENTRE

A walk around Skipton in North Yorkshire, England.
We take a look at the market town of Skipton Yorkshire to see the Castle, High Street, The Canal and the great shops there!
Skipton is a market town in North Yorkshire just outside of the Yorkshire Dales, and situated on the Leeds to Liverpool canal.
The historic Skipton High Street is a cracking place to have a mooch around the shops and bars and restaurants so we take the cameras and enjoy a walk around a lovely sunny (but cold!) Skipton Town Centre
If you've been to Skipton you will already know how great it is to walk along the canal, and then up Skipton High Street to Skipton Castle so we'll try and recreate the experience for you here!
Have a watch as we wander round Skipton and then at the end leave me a comment down below and tell me where you'd like me to film next!

There’s a great chippy overlooking the canal basin you can see it at the beginning of the video ,eat in or take out ,there’s nothing better than sitting by the side of the canal eating fish & chips ,it’s always our first stop .

[@shaunlynch2660]

Thanks for putting this on your channel. It’s brought back many happy memories of when I visited Skipton with my late wife. You have shown some areas that we never got to see because of her disability

[@susanfraser6371]

I was friends with a wonderful man who lived in Skipton. Sadly, he passed away a few months ago, and I miss him dearly. I live in Canada, and never had the opportunity to visit him there, but your video has given me a chance to discover how lovely Skipton is. This was almost like strolling along with him. Thank you!

[@GimbalWalkTV]

That’s why I do what I do Lovely message thank you so much ❤️

[@stevecobham5687]

Not to forget one of the greatest pie shops in the country. Go early cause they sell out fast

Good to see you ( shadow) back. Skipton looked lovely & although cold would suit me. Lots of history & shops without being in your face & tacky.

Happy New Year to you. Another great video. I'd like to see you recommend and visit inside a Pub or Cafe on a separate video? That would be a useful guide for anyone visiting these towns.

[@sandrawhelan9159]

Would love to have a walk around Saltaire .thank you .

[@kathleenparrish7173]

I recognised it when getting to the Black Horse Pub where we had a conference and went round the castle. I also went for a trip on the canal. Yes it is a nice area.

[@judywhittlesey4010]

I need one of the maps from the vending machine, between sheep st. and the high street. I have seen pics of the castle, but didn't realize it was right in town. LOL! I actually live in the U.S. LOL! I want the map because I would love to have maps from all areas of G.B. In reading the comments, I read you will return to Skipton on a market day. You read my thoughts. I look forward to that visit, when it's a bit warmer for you, of course! You will remember to pick up a map for me, won't you? I think it is really cute. Seriously, I loved the tour. Always wanted to see more of the northern areas. BTW, I always tap the👍 before I watch, because I know it's gonna be great, a bang up good time!

[@sandradowling4605]

Oh the Wholly Sheep..amazing food

[@GimbalWalkTV]

You're not alone on that one - so many people telling me the same! Gonna have to try it!

Great vid Gimbal. Went to Skipton once in the summer. Loads of market stalls and a visit to the Castle. I can recommend the Fish & Chips from the shop in your video ( Bizzie Lizzie’s). Going to go again this summer.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thanks Brian! Good to hear the fish and chips were good! Can't beat fish and chips!

If you are ever in the Skipton area again I highly reccomend you visit Settle! A beautiful gem of a town!

Lovely tour of our beautiful town, thank you! Shame you missed out the Canal Basin and two great shopping streets - Otley Street and Newmarket Street but I guess it would have made the video too long. How about Grassington next?

I’m going to return to film a more in-depth one once it gets a bit sunnier (and on a market day too) Yeah have done Grassington - what a lovely little place that is!
