Guest access
Getting here by car is very straightforward, we are the next village to Skipton on the A65 and have ample off road parking next to the house for 2 cars with extra parking available on request.
If you fancy leaving the car and coming by train then Gargrave train station (part of the Settle to Carlisle line) is just 10 mins walk away and the journey is less than an hour from Leeds (even London is only about 3.5 hours away !).
You can even get to Gargrave by boat on the Leeds and Liverpool canal (5 mins walk from our house) and the towpath is great for a nice easy walk to East Marton or Skipton.
For the more adventurous the Pennine Way is only 100 yards from the house and we are between East Marton (3.2 m) and Malham Cove (6.5m).
Lastly you could even fly (some of the way) as Leeds Bradford airport is less than an hour away.
