Really enjoyable look around this brilliant piece of history, you are left to walk around at your leisure which is good lots of signs explaining everything. Dog friendly which is great. It has a good car park which is a bit of a walk from the entrance but not a problem and it's something like £4.50 for the day so ideal for looking around Skipton town centre after the castle. The castle is literally 1 minute walk away.
A good hour exploring this old medieval castle. Very picturesque courtyard with the ancient yew tree, and remarkably intact structure. However, can't feel that something is missing. When visiting a half ruined castle with no roof, you expect empty rooms. But this one with a full roof, floors and intact overall could have so much more inside. Could there not be some galleries or artefacts to look at? Or try and replicate how the rooms may have looked back in the day? Even an old wooden table with some replica food in the kitchen area would bring the room to life. Feel like so much more could be done to enhance the visitor experience for what could be a great day out here. Also not much information, just one square plaque in each room.
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.
Loved the history behind the castle was bigger than initially thought. You get a map to follow when walking around gives you more information on history of the rooms. Beautiful preserved castle and grounds. Dogs are welcome in castle just not in shop and tea room but there is plenty of seating around.nKids under 5 go free takes about an hour or 2 to walk round castle slowly not include grounds.
Really enjoyed our visit to the castle. Friendly staff and nice place serving food. You can come and go as you please once you have paid. The castle was fairly easy to navigate around especially in my case have some mobility issues. It’s not wheelchair accessible which they do say. Lots to see and learn. Good way to spend and afternoon.
