“Welcome, and thank you for visiting our new website! An exciting development here at Pennine Boat Trips is that we have taken over the café in our courtyard. Next year we’ll be specialising in catering for groups, with ‘days out’ packages including the cafe and the boat trips. The 2008 diary is now open, so if you wish to book a cruise with us this year, make sure to get in early with your preferred date! I look forward to welcoming you on board soon.”

Skipton
Skipton, dubbed 'The Gateway to the Dales', is a wonderful historic market town situated in North Yorkshire, right in the heart of beautiful Pennines scenery.
It's not hard to see why Skipton is such a popular tourist destination - with the superbly preserved 900 year old medieval Skipton Castle, famous open-air market, spectacular limestone cliffs at Malham to the West, celebrated beauty of Bolton Abbey to the East, and of course the Leeds-Liverpool Canal passing right through the centre.
The Leeds & Liverpool Canal
The canal itself is Britain's longest, at 127 miles, and was originally used for transporting coal, stone, cloth and other cargo after its completion in 1816.
Of course the canal's busy industrial heyday has now passed, but the Leeds-Liverpool is still enjoyed by thousands as a brilliant way of exploring the area, reliving the past and relaxing as the world passes by.
