2 Best Sights in Skipton, Yorkshire

This visitor center 10 miles north of Skipton has guidebooks, maps, bus schedules, and EV charging points to help you enjoy a day in Yorkshire Dales National Park. Grassington is deep in the dales on the tiny B6265, also known as the Grassington Road; buses travel here from nearby towns. It's a small stone village with stores, pubs, and cafés, so it makes a good base for exploring Upper Wharfedale. The Dales Way footpath passes through the village. In summer, it becomes crowded with day-trippers and hikers, but you can escape them on other area walks.

With informative displays, Malham's National Park Centre gives you some ideas for what to see and do, both in town and in Yorkshire Dales National Park. You can also get a list of bed-and-breakfasts and pub accommodations.
