Voted best place to live by the Sunday Times in 2018, Skipton is a great little market town only 10 mins away by car or 1 stop on the train! ....and if you’re a miserable so and so...don’t come here as official figures in 2017 rated Skipton the happiest place to live in the UK! 😀
The main events in Skipton include the annual heritage event -Skipton Sheep Day which takes place on the first Sunday in July.
It is also absurdly historic, with a castle, a canal and clusters of stone cottages, all attractively set in the Yorkshire Dales, dotted with the sheep that gave the town its name.

Just 20 mins away by car - Malham Cove is a large curved limestone formation 0.6 miles (1 km) north of the village of Malham, North Yorkshire. It was formed by a waterfall carrying meltwater from glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age more than 12,000 years ago. Today it is a well-known beauty spot within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. A large limestone pavement is above the cove, spectacular sunset views so take a bottle of bubbly...if you can manage to carry it up all those steps to the top of the cove. Not suitable for wheelchair users.
Fantastic Yorkshire pubs and cafes in the village.

Janet's Foss is a small waterfall near the village of Malham, North Yorkshire. It carries Gordale Beck over a limestone outcrop into a deep pool below. The pool was traditionally used for sheep dipping, a jolly event which drew in local village inhabitants for the social occasion. The name Janet (sometimes Jennet) is believed to refer to a fairy queen held to inhabit a cave at the rear of the fall.
It’s a great place for jumping in when you need to cool down!

Just 15mins away by car - Famed for being the home of The Brontë sisters who wrote most of their novels while living at Haworth Parsonage when their father was the parson at the Church of St. Michael and All Angels. The Parsonage is now a museum owned and maintained by the Brontë Society.
The 43 miles (69 km) long Brontë Way leads past Lower Laithe Reservoir, Stanbury to the Brontë waterfalls, the Brontë Bridge and the Brontë Stone Chair in which (it is said) the sisters took turns to sit and write their first stories. It then leads out of the valley and up on the moors to Ponden Hall (reputedly Thrushcross Grange in Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights) and Top Withens, a desolate ruin which was reputedly the setting for the farmstead Wuthering Heights. Top Withens can also be reached by a shorter walking route departing from the nearby village of Stanbury.
Haworth railway station is part of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic preserved steam railway.
