Itinerary
The building that now houses our ticket office is one of the oldest canal related buildings in the area, dating to 1774 and is grade II listed. It was originally a warehouse for goods being transported on the canal, hence the large cranes outside- one facing the canal, the other facing our cobbled car park, formerly stables for horses towing the craft. Somewhere near the site of the wharf, although the exact location is now lost, was Winterwell Hall, a medieval manor whose remains were lost during the building of the canal basin.
A few hundred yards up the hill from Horse Close bridge are the sites of two historic establishments. Cawder Ghyll was the location of the start of many Skiptonian’s lives, as it was the site of a maternity hospital until the 1960s. At the top of the same hill can also be found a Bronze Age enclosure, probably for the corralling of animals, however bearing some of the characteristics of a hill fort.

About Leeds
Leeds is West Yorkshire's big city, a Victorian centre of arcades and markets with galleries, a waterfront and the Yorkshire Dales within reach.
Leeds grew in the nineteenth century on wool, cloth and engineering, and its Victorian centre shows it in the grand Town Hall, the oval Corn Exchange and the glass-roofed shopping arcades of the Victoria Quarter. Kirkgate Market is one of the biggest covered markets in Europe, and it is where Michael Marks first set up the penny bazaar that grew into a national retailer.
