I live just down the road in Apperley Bridge and while I've been to Bolton Abbey and Skipton many a time I've not caravanner there (only had it 18 months mind).

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Proud to be from Yorkshire ; )

But...

References to "God's Own County" rarely include Lancashire !!

Wiki (so it must be true)

We merely turn a blind eye to your appropriation of that phrase to allow you some consolation from your defeat in the War of the Roses!!

The stepping stones are at Bolton Abbey, which is about 25 miles from Knight Stainforth. Try and fit in a trip to Forbidden Corner too if you like a giggle. It's an amazing day out. For a rainy day at Knight Stainforth (you'll probably get at least one!) a trip to White Scar caves is also well worth it.

Thanks so much Karen. That's def on our to see and do list. Hopefully the stones are not covered over when we visit. Yes, the White Scar Caves look good too. Any other suggestions welcome.

How was your recent visit to KS? We can't wait to go

If you go to Bolton Abbey there's a lovely walk along the river up to the strid. There's also a lovely walk from Knight Stainforth itself - it's about 7 miles and gives you stunning views across to Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough. Let me know if you want details of it. A day out to Malham cove is also worthwhile (about 8 miles away).

Knight Stainforth was fantastic last week. As always. The river was a bit too high for paddling / swimming (not surprising given the recent weather) but it was stunning to look at. It's the first time I've ever been there and not had it rain during the day though. Honestly, it rains a lot in the Dales!

It's a shame we're booked up for August, otherwise we might have come to say hello! Hope you enjoy it as much as we always do.
