Rejseplan
Bygningen, der nu huser vores billetkontor, er en af de ældste kanalrelaterede bygninger i området, dateret til 1774 og er fredet i klasse II. Det var oprindeligt et lager for varer, der blev transporteret på kanalen, deraf de store kraner udenfor - den ene ud mod kanalen, den anden mod vores brostensbelagte parkeringsplads, tidligere stalde til heste, der bugserede fartøjet. Et sted nær stedet for kajen, selvom den nøjagtige placering nu er tabt, var Winterwell Hall, en middelalderlig herregård, hvis rester gik tabt under bygningen af kanalbassinet.
Båden passerer et snoet hul i den del af Skipton, der er kendt som Snaygill. Lige overfor det snoede hul findes Craven Nursing Home. Dette er bygget på stedet for Snaygill House, og blev oprindeligt bygget som et offentligt hus, Copper Beeches. Snaygill var tidligere en separat by til Skipton. Det var opført i Domesday Book som værende ejet af Vilhelm Erobreren, tidligere af Earl Edwin. Jorden viste sig at være seks karukater i størrelse og produktion - en Carucate er den jord, 8 okser kan pløje på en enkelt sæson, omkring 120 acres.

Just really good value. Food great. And very relaxing. I loved the fact that they kept topping up tea and coffee!
Wonderful afternoon gently cruising down the Leeds Liverpool Canal. Booking in was easy, helpful onboard crew, spacious in the seating/dining area and great views. Our cruise took 2 hours, and was full of interest with the scenery changing from hidden views of Skipton, to the gorgeous scenery all around Skipton. Plenty of wildlife spotting, interesting watching crew operate the bridges, etc…. The food was delicious and filling, a lot of variety. Boat had a board bar with a good selection of soft drinks as well as alcohol. Nice atmosphere as well on board. Boat had an onboard toilet and washroom. There are some steps down onto the deck, but crew are helpful, and offer advice. We would definitely do this trip again, very enjoyable, and good value for money.
Having spent the weekend in Skipton We had booked the canal trip for afternoon tea. We booked with Skipton boat trips The staff were polite , the food was excellent The canal trip lasted 2 hours it was well worth every penny
Brilliant vibes - lovely fish n chips and great curtious polite team
A lovely couple of hours spent on the canal. Staff were very friendly and the afternoon tea was delicious and not too much
The Afternoon Tea Trip on the canal boat is a really lovely treat. As a huge fan of afternoon teas, I enjoy locations and venues which are just a little out of the ordinary, and special. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience at The Ritz recently and I have to say that the food served on this trip could match it. Of course, ambience wise, this Afternoon Tea experience is a complete contrast, and none the worse for that. The trip is very relaxing (and gentlemen are not required to wear a jacket and tie!) the food delicious, the pace slow as the boat glides along the canal – another world. And no waiter anywhere, even at the Ritz, could be more attentive than Olly. In fact, all the staff are very friendly and helpful. A delightful experience and one I recommend wholeheartedly.
This was an enjoyable experience. We had a bottle of wine with our tea which made it especially relaxing. The staff was efficient and friendly. It was well organized in that everyone was assigned a table before entering the boat, so there was no pushing or shoving to get to tables. The ride was long enough, though not quite as scenic as I had hoped. The pastries tasted better than the sandwiches which could have used more filling.
Well organised , attentive staff, pleasant cruise, just what you’d expect . Good value for money
A great experience, we had enjoyed the boat cruise with afternoon tea. The staff looked after us very well.
We had a fantastic time on the boat. My son was really looking forward to the boat trip and he enjoyed it. My Mother in law was very pleased with the surprise boat trip I prepared for her. She said that she has been to Skipton so hundreds of times but never went on the boat. The boat is decorated festive with Christmas music. It’s a great way to start the festive period!
