United Kingdom Yorkshire and the Humber Skipton

Skipton is a market town and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. it is located on the course of the River Aire. Home to one of the oldest mills in North Yorkshire, historical documents indicate High Corn Mill dates to 1310. Skipton was anciently distinguished by Skipton Castle, constructed in 1090 as a wooden motte-and-bailey by Robert de Romille, a Norman baron. In the 12th century William le Gros strengthened it with a stone keep to repel attacks from the Kingdom of Scotland to the north.

Remaining a lively market town, Skipton offers great local produce and is a wonderful base for exploring the region.

As far as your suggested package was concerned, it suited us perfectly. Before we travelled, we knew what we wanted but didn’t really know how to go about it as we knew little about the cities we wanted to visit, or the hotels which would do the job. My wife just happened upon your website and it really did a great job for us - just enter the cities we wanted to visit and hey, presto! An itinerary! Everywhere we went, the hotels were expecting us and the trip went according to plan. We were happy with the general quality and price of the hotels, and your site was a great help, so we thoroughly enjoyed the break. Thanks!

I came across your website whilst planning an impromptu trip to Italy. Although we only booked hotels with you, I found your website a great help. We traveled by train and found Italian trains to be very good. The rooms we booked with you were all good. The locations were great. The hotel in Viareggio was a great treat. I would definitely recommend your site to anybody planning a trip. We will use it again .... Vietnam and Cambodia next!
