Skipton Castle

SKIPTON CASTLE in Yorkshire, England. This iphone panorama was taken from the walk along the Skipton Canal.
I didn't go into the castle this time; however, the entrance is on the other side of the picture, a bit to the right. It was lovely to see the castle from this perspective because it is quite big!
Skipton Castle is well worth visiting and full of beautiful nooks and crannies. There is an entrance fee, but so worthwhile!
Skipton is also a great base to explore the surrounding Yorkshire Dales #NationalPark.
