Steeped in history and natural scenic beauty, the Leeds Liverpool Canal is a truly fascinating waterway. What better way to discover it than onboard a beautiful traditional canal boat departing from Skipton, one of the oldest and most stunning market towns in the country. During your trip you will experience cruising on Yorkshire’s most attractive waterway, passing by charming buildings and spectacular scenery. We will also visit the attractive spa town of Harrogate famous for its floral displays, tea shops, Turkish baths and antique shops. A truly relaxing weekend spent in the Yorkshire Dales.
