Skipton to Gargrave walk

Saturday 31st August 2024

A very gentle and easy walk from the historic market town of Skipton to Gargrave, alongside the Liverpool to Leeds canal.

I parked my car at Gargrave railway station and we got the train back to Skipton (1 stop - 5 mins) and then after a coffee stop and wander around Skipton town centre, we walked back to Gargrave in the warm sunshine following the route of the picturesque canal.

The times and distances for this walk are only approximate, as we did spend half an hour in Skipton before starting our stroll and then another half an hour in the pub at Gargrave - So probably the walking time is nearer the two hour mark and a for the actual walk distance, I'd say it was nearer 5 miles in total if you delete our town wanderings.
