SKIPWITH STATION







What to do - activities and attractions
wp9bdebf55_35.jpg

With immediate access to Skipwith Common the carriages are an ideal base for nature lovers. Natural England offer guided walks throughout the summer for bird watchers and lovers of other flora and fauna.

Within the station, there is a stable and two turnout paddocks for equestrian holidays. The neighbouring Escrick Park Estate offers 26 miles of bridle-ways to be explored at leisure.

The local terrain is gently rolling, ideal for cyclists.

Skipwith is also on the outskirts of York and Selby, both offering a wealth of attractions from the National Railway Museum and Jorvik Viking Centre in York, to Selby's famous Abbey. Both cities offer enjoyable shopping opportunities and York has the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet.
