Guide To Skipton Castle

One of the most beautiful castles in the UK! I remember coming here for a school trip in primary school, and it still lives up to those memories. An affordable price with good information about the history around the castle. A good gift shop and nice looking tea room also available.

Historic well preserved castle. £12.50 admission card only. Very friendly informative staff. You’re given a double sided a4 sheet with route and brief information about each room. The castle itself is in roof condition. An 800 year old remains of chapel near to castle within its grounds. Nice tea room for refreshments.

I recently had the pleasure of touring Skipton Castle, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment I walked through the gates, I felt transported back in time. The architecture was stunning—every stone seemed to tell a story, and the views from the battlements were breathtaking.

Delightful afternoon at Skipton Castle. It is well kept and lots of information is available on the self-tour sheet and in the spaces. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It has good facilities and is dog-friendly which is wonderful. On the whole would highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely love this castle. I’ve been a number of times for class trips, but this was our first family trip.

On entry we met a member of staff (didn’t catch his name) as we were buying tickets. He was fantastic with the children. Showing the children his ‘magic’ by pulling badges out of their hair.

My husband and children (10, 7 and 3yrs) all had a fantastic time and loved exploring all parts of the castle.

They have all asked to return again in the Summer
