Questions parents ask
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- A typical visit takes around 90 minutes. You can explore every corner of the castle, from the Dungeon to the top of the Watch Tower, at your own pace, and the tour sheet with 40 descriptions of features helps you make the most of your time.
- Is there somewhere to eat, or should we bring a picnic?
- The castle has both a tea room and a picnic area, so you can choose to buy refreshments or bring your own food. Either way, you can relax and refuel during your visit.
- Can we walk dogs around the castle?
- Dogs are welcome at Skipton Castle, so you can bring your pet along as you explore the grounds and buildings.
- Is it manageable with younger children?
- The castle is spread over multiple levels with stairs, including a climb to the top of the Watch Tower and a descent to the Dungeon, so it requires a reasonable level of mobility. We haven't confirmed how buggy-friendly the route is, so it's worth contacting the castle directly if you have a toddler in a buggy or pram.
