1. Skipton's Historic `Gateway' Guided Walk.
(For those who prefer more talk to walk!)

Lasting approximately one and a quarter hours, and non-strenuous, the guided `Gateway' walk takes you around the very heart of historic Skipton-In-Craven, beginning outside the Tourist Information Centre in Coach Street, and wending it's way to the oldest part of Skipton - the Mill Bridge area - along the way visiting the High Street and the great Gateway of Skipton Castle; Holy Trinity Church; Chapel Hill and Mill Bridge before returning to Coach Street via Springs Canal.

2. The Skipton Millennium Walk Guided Tour
(For those who prefer more walk to talk!)

All guided walks begin and end outside the Tourist Information Centre in Coach Street and take place at various times of day, most days throughout the season.
