Skipton: Castle, Canals, and a Church

This 900-year-old castle with its burly towers is one of the best preserved medieval castles in England.

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal is 127 miles long, and passes through Skipton. It is the longest canal in Britain. It was used for transporting goods until the 1980s, longer than most canals.

Holy Trinity Church of England was built in the 1300s, and added onto in the 1400s. It has some beautiful stained glass and carvings.
