Skipton Castle

Skipton Castle’s solid, no-nonsense structure perfectly encapsulates the Yorkshire approach to life. It has stood for over 900 years and survived a swathe of attacks, including a three-year siege during the English Civil War – a recently discovered well in the grounds sheds light on how people survived. The castle is open throughout the year with a range of events and tours, and it has a fun, hands-on approach to engage visitors of all ages. Lady Anne Clifford did much to restore the castle after the civil war and, in 1659, she planted the yew tree which still grows in the central courtyard.
