The best way to experience Skipton Castle Woods is to visit by walking along the spectacular towpath from Mill Bridge in the heart of Skipton. On arrival in the wood you will find a site map full of interesting features, suggested walking routes and more activities to try. We chose the red and yellow path which looped us around the woods, past the willow sculpture, stream and back past the castle. It was then a quick walk out of the woods through the church and back onto the towpath to the car park. Not all paths are suitable for a pram so a carrier is advised.
