The Journey
Skipton Ticket Office (Former Canal Warehouse)
Step back in time at the Skipton Ticket Office, housed in a Grade II listed building dating back to 1774. Originally a bustling canal warehouse, evident from the two imposing cranes, it served as a vital hub for goods transported along the canal. Imagine the scene as you stand between the crane facing the canal, and the one facing the cobbled car park, formerly stables housing the horses that towed canal craft. The site whispers tales of bygone eras. Explore the rich history of canal transportation and the legacy of Winterwell Hall, a lost medieval manor whose remnants were swept away during the construction of the canal basin. It's more than just a ticket office; it's a gateway to Skipton's captivating past.
Snaygill Winding Hole & Craven Nursing Home (Former Snaygill House/Copper Beeches)
Find tranquility at the Snaygill winding hole, nestled in the historic part of Skipton known as Snaygill. Across from the winding hole stands the Craven Nursing Home, a place with layers of history. Built on the foundations of Snaygill House, it originally opened as a public house named The Copper Beeches. Snaygill itself boasts a rich heritage, once a separate town mentioned in the Domesday Book as owned by William the Conqueror, and before that by Earl Edwin. Imagine the medieval landscape as you learn that the land was measured as six carucates, each representing the area that eight oxen could plough in a season (roughly 120 acres). Today, Snaygill provides a serene retreat from the modern world, inviting you to reflect on the area's deep historical roots.
