GARGRAVE VILLAGE near Skipton in THE YORKSHIRE DALES | Leeds Liverpool Canal Walks | The Pennine Way

We visit the beautiful English village of Gargrave in the Yorkshire Dales exploring things to do and checking whether it is worth visiting? We also discover the Roman heritage of Gargrave village including its rare intact Roman ford and walk along a section of the Leeds Liverpool Canal.
Only a few miles and short car journey away from Malham and Grassington, Gargrave could prove to be a great base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Gargrave also hosts the Leeds Liverpool canal with an aqueduct running over the River Aire and viaduct too! These are known as the Holme Bridge aqueduct and viaduct.
We also give information regarding the flea market and craft fair held at the Village Hall in Gargrave plus extra local events.
There is free parking available in Gargrave but paid car parks too, in case there are no free spots.

Beautiful village we, my Husband and I are keen walkers, a few years ago we decided to take the train from Leeds where we live, to Skipton. Then walk from the station to Gargrave using the canal path. A lovely leisurely walk, about 8 miles there and back to Skipton. There's also a beautiful church in Gargrave, lovely coffee shops and tea rooms, it's a lovely friendly English village.

Thanks for this. I’m a Yorkshire girl, been in Canada many years, longing to come back, to this area.

Thank you for your beautiful video. I often go up Skipton as my relation is there. You captured all what I like about in Yorkshire. I'll check out other videos as you mentioned "Malham"! Hope I will see your dog in them as well☺

Who had to dry your doggy off😅 looks so beautiful many thanks

[@exploringthenorth]

Fortunately we went for a nice walk after the fun on the stepping stones and in the river so she had time to dry off 😅 It is a really nice place and in the middle of lots of other villages to explore 😊👍🏼

Ive got nice summer photos of that spot with the stepping stones. Took them years ago when the missus could get out and about. Sadly not anymore.
