Skipton Castle

Over 900 years old, Skipton Castle is one of the most complete and best preserved medieval castles in England. Visitors can explore every corner of this impressive history-rich castle, which withstood a three-year siege during the Civil War.

View the Banqueting Hall, the Kitchen, the Bedchamber and Privy. Climb from the depths of the Dungeon to the top storey of the Watch Tower.

Imagine what life was like when Skipton Castle provided protection and security from invaders.

Relax in the picnic area or in the new tea room or visit the shop for more information.

Come and explore this history-rich castle: still fully roofed, it repays a visit at any time of year. With your Tour Sheet in hand, step back into Skipton's colourful past!
