Skipton lies where the A65 and A59 meet in the Yorkshire Dales, making it the natural gateway between West Yorkshire's cities and the countryside beyond. The A65 runs from Leeds and Bradford whilst the A59 connects to Harrogate and York, with long-distance routes via the M65 from Manchester. The town serves as a touring base with approximately 70 EV charging points nearby. Skipton Castle's 900-year-old round tower still dominates the High Street and can be climbed for panoramic views.
