1-timmars kollektivtrafik
Beskrivning
Detta är de bästa 60 minuterna av historisk eskapism du kan hitta i Skipton. Din guide för kanalrundturen är den prisbelönta komikern Dave Spikey från Phoenix Nights och 8 av 10 Cats berömmelse. Med sitt karaktäristiska nordliga mönster tar Dave dig med på en inspelad whistle-stop-turné i Skipton och delar med sig av kanalhistoria som skiljer sig uppfriskande från din genomsnittliga kommentar. Ovanför skämten och skratten hör du intressanta platser och fascinerande berättelser om hur Leeds & Liverpool Canal levererade livsnerven i den industriella revolutionen genom Yorkshire. Det finns också mat och dryck ombord, så det är en rolig twist på lunchrasten. Vår livliga kanalresa visar att du inte behöver låta planering eller otäckt väder stå i vägen för en bra tid.

Aireville Park är en stor öppen plats med sportfaciliteter och lekområden i hjärtat av Skipton. Det går tillbaka till 1830-talet när det skapades av Henry Allcock som en del av Aireville Estate. Efter hans död köpte de rika Skiptons bruksägare, familjen Dewhurst, godset och Aireville Hall.

Very pleasant way to spend an hour on the water.
Arrived late due to traffic. I spoke to the guy welcome people on to another boat, I explained or situation, I knew it was the last boat of the day. His reaction was, without actually saying it, ‘tuff’, so a round trip of over 120 mile plus 2 ticket, for a ‘we don’t care attitude’ , thanks for the great day out. If this is what Yorkshire hospitality has become, I’m so glad I moved to Lincolnshire.
I was given a gift voucher as a present. Booked a lovely hour trip along the canal. Very friendly staff, good commentary. Very relaxed . It does get booked up a lot by excursions so if you want to go on a particular day book well ahead. The seats are quite tight for leg room but it was a very nice trip.
While in Skipton walked on canal lucky to see a boat was leaving at 11.30am had an hour cruising down the canal, great value £10.00 per person, very clean barge and well kept you could have coffee/tea also a toilet on board. Excellent value and a great leisurely trip, saw lots of wildlife would definitely recommend this if visiting Skipton.
One hour boat trip with commentary by Dave Spikey, very humorous talking about the area,canal etc, unfortunately lots of people were talking over the tape which was very annoying, but not the boat companies fault just ignorant people.
For a small additional fee we booked a one hour river cruise when booking steam train tickets from nearby Bolton Abbey. This made it a full day out and a very enjoyable relaxing experience. The tours are well run with allocated seating, onboard bar and toilet. We were fortunate to have a glorious day but this would actually be an excellent rainy day activity too. Plenty of parking available in the pay & display car park in Coach Street which is a very short walk away.
A lovely way to spend an hour floating down the river…
Delightful cruise on the cut. Excellent commentry by Dave starkly
Pleasant hour out on the boat on a Friday afternoon, the recorded commentary added something even if the jokes were a little cheesy. Can't fault the value for money but would have preferred to choose our own seats as the front ones were small and you are very close your neighbour. Overall though an enjoyable time
We did the Skipton boat trip on Easter Sunday with our family of 5 (2 adults & 3 children). The one hour trip was much enjoyed by the adults although the kids were starting to get a bit restless towards the end but this would not put us off booking again. Thank you.
