15 Clitheroe

About this property

Located on the outskirts of Skipton, a lovely, market town in North Yorkshire is 15 Clitheroe, a 19th-century, mid-terrace cottage. A ten minute walk from a hub of shops and eateries, whilst within proximity to the canal, Skipton Castle, and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, 15 Clitheroe offers the ideal base for a countryside break, perfect for both leisure and adventure; the home welcomes three guests. Park up on the roadside before heading indoors, firstly reaching the open-plan living space, complete with homely interiors and contemporary furnishings. Unwind in the welcoming sitting area, flick on the TV, and light the woodburning stove for a warm ambience. Continue through to the well-equipped kitchen, where you can rustle up delicious meals, to be enjoyed around the dining table for three; next door you'll locate a handy utility to hang up your coats, store your walking boots, and a convenient washing machine. As the night unfolds, head upstairs to locate two well-appointed bedrooms, including a double and a single, both serviced by a sleek bathroom, home to both a bath and a walk-in shower. There is also extra storage space on the landing for suitcases and extra coats if needed. Awaken to a coffee in the enclosed, rear courtyard, before exploring the town on foot, firstly grabbing a bite to eat at the Rhubarb Restaurant or the Bean Loved coffee shop, ahead of strolling alongside the pretty canal, touring the Craven Museum & Gallery, or discovering Skipton Castle and woods. Book your visit to coincide with the Yorkshire Dales Food & Drink Festival, exhibited over a weekend every July, sure to please all of the family with a host of amusements, and celebrity chef displays, or if you'd prefer a nature-filled day, head into the national park to hike up the Embsay Crag, or follow the Stepping Stones of Bolton Abbey. By car or by train, round off your break by heading towards Bradford and Leeds, both brimming with art galleries, museums, boutique shops, and landmarks to add to your itinerary, with the National Science and Media Museum, Bradford Industrial Museum, Leeds Industrial Museum at Armley Mills, Leeds City Museum, and the Leeds Art Gallery as firm favourites. Experience all of this, and more, at 15 Clitheroe.

Skipton, often known as "The Gateway to the Dales," is well situated for exploring all that the Dales has to offer, and is just a short drive from York, the Lake District, and the West Coast. This charming market town boasts an antique castle that is available to the public, a stunning mediaeval parish church, and a colourful market that fills the cobblestone setts on either side of the high street. Skipton was rated the "greatest place to live" in Britain by The Sunday Times in 2014, and two years later it was designated one of the top nine towns in Yorkshire and the North-East. At Embsay and Bolton Abbey, steam railroads offer frequent excursions, and the Leeds to Liverpool Canal travels through Skipton, passing through the 1-mile-long Foulridge Tunnel and the 5-rise locks at Bingley within a short distance.
