Nature Spotting
Skipton Castle Woods is a wild playground; a perfect place for kids to get closer to nature.
Let your little ones explore the woodland at their own pace as they discover bugs, birds and trees with our Spirit of the Hunter nature spotter activity sheet, inspired by our medieval willow hunter sculpture.
Look out for herons on the banks of Eller Beck and kingfishers around the Round Dam Pond as they fly low over the water.
Sneak a peek under fallen deadwood and stones to see what creatures hide beneath and watch out for the bubbles on the beck as fish come up to the surface.
