A walk from Skipton to Gargrave [9]
A garage roof full of kitch, seen from the canal towpath.
The walk follows the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal out of Skipton before following a lane onto the A6069 road. After crossing the A59 road at Inghey Bridge, the path runs across fields to pass underneath the railway. The path then runs alongside the railway before it veers right past Kirk Sink to Gargrave. About 4¼ miles.

Old milestone
One mile from the centre of Skipton on the A6069 Broughton Road near Broughton Grove is this very neglected West Riding County Council milestone. 615 of these milestones were set up in 1893/94 all over the old West Riding. The righthand side has the legend Clitheroe 17 Miles. Although Skipton is now in North Yorkshire it was, until 1974, in the West Riding. On the top is SKIPTON LB. That stands for Local Board.
