Skipton, in the Craven District, is known as “the gateway to the dales.” The Yorkshire Dales is a scenic land of hills, cave systems, and river valleys shaped by glaciers. The town’s name is derived from the Old English for sheep (sceap) and village (tun). What started as a market town trading sheep and wool is now considered one of the best places to live in Northern England. Because the Leeds and Liverpool Canal passes through town, Skipton is a local haven for paddlers, hikers, and tourists who like to feed ducks and swans. Located near the 11th-century Skipton Castle is a shop selling some of the best pork pies in Yorkshire. Skipton’s Main Street becomes a vibrant market three days a week. With all these, Skipton is one of the best places to camp out. Read on for the best glamping spots near Skipton, UK.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location that facilitates glamping or is close to glamping spots. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 11, 2024.
1. Comfy yurt with deck in West Yorkshire (from USD 49)
At the end of a country road in West Yorkshire is a furnished yurt in a field. There is a walking route called Calderdale Way and a railway station nearby, but the accommodation itself is private and restful.
The best feature of this yurt is the comfortable bed. In cold weather, you can light up the stove for extra warmth. You will love the view from the wooden deck. Take note that the path and field can be muddy since the shower and toilet are in a separate outhouse. If you plan to bring the kids, ask the host for guidance upon booking.
