The Castle Inn, Skipton

A busy pub by the castle. Multi-roomed and it can seem a bit cramped when busy. The interior is sort of zig zag shaped. A pleasant enough place but a bit touristy. 4 handpumps on the bar with an unclipped one and 2 Theakstons beers plus a Nethercote beer on today.

Multi area pub with the most traditional of décor, red banquettes brown wood geometric carpets and etched windows. It's also got the biggest Britannia tables I've ever seen. There's lots of bric-a-brac, trophies and bottles plus a good collection of empty whisky tubes. 6 pulls although 2 were doubled up. Theaksons Best Bitter & Old Peculier plus Thwaites Wainwright and Caledonian Trojan Horse on the pulls, my Wainwright was pretty tired even after resting in the pipes all night. Big patio at the front and a separate dining room to one side.

Yes this pub as got better over the years it used to be a bikers pub might still be nothing wrong with that nice and clean and warm very busy had a good pint of timmy Taylors landlord wort a look in here any time

Late 18th century pub adjacent to the church and medieval castle at the top of the high street. Single bar with three separate drinking areas. A very comfortable pub early doors, but when busy, difficult to get past people as they tend to stand at the bar and not budge. Tied Theakston house with two guest beers. Enjoyed the Theakston Lightfoot.
