We are within half an hour of a number of market towns, Skipton, Settle and Clitheroe with plenty of shopping to be had. Clitheroe should be at the top of your list of places to explore, overlooked by an impressive 12th century castle. D Byrnes wines, Cowman’s famous sausages and the market which opens from 9am on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays are all worth a visit.
