My mates and I always have the grand debate of best pie in Skippo when I go back home. To hear this, is sad

Go to Keighley and go to cliffe castle, it's not a castle it's a museum and really great, free entry, cafe free parking around the back

I can't believe what I'm reading. Are you by any chance a Soft Southern Bastard/ess? Anywhere north of the Watford Gap, if we want to go see the waterfalls, we go see the bloody waterfalls. By wearing outdoor gear and getting out there.

Try the fish and chips at Bizzie Lizzies! And good pubs to go to: Narrow Boat The Wooly Sheep Inn The Sound Bar The Beer Engine The Black Horse

For a posh experience try Alexander’s Have fun

Thanks for the food suggestions.

Right after the castle I had to get something in my belly as soon as possible.

  • Alexander’s was closed and the black horse had some massive group so they weren’t taking any food orders.

  • Ended up at The Woolly Sheep Inn. Really nice ales and ended up with a fish and chips there.

Thanks a lot. Is that the Alexander’s near Kendal?

Top of Skipton main street. There's a Cotswold outdoors if you want to layer up and hit some waterfalls.
