  • YOUR MISSION



    In a bid to thwart the competition and let his own pork pies rule supreme, evil butcher Mr Phillip Stake has built a machine to ruin his rivals' pies. The Puffinator emits invisible rays which transform the delicious crust pastry of the traditional pie into puff pastry; not what the discerning pork pie connoisseur has come to expect! Can YOU solve the clues and discover the de-activation code to stop the Puffinator and force Mr Stake to eat humble pie?

    Skipton



    Skipton is a picturesque market town known as the 'Gateway to the Dales' due to its location on the southern side of the Yorkshire Dales. With its historic market, castle, churches and cobbled streets, Skipton is steeped in history and has lots to offer the visitor. It also boasts one of the oldest mills in North Yorkshire and lies on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal.

    ADDITIONAL TRAIL INFORMATION

    Route:
    Starting at the canal near the Long Stay car park on Coach Street, this Trail leads you along the towpath on a scenic walk behind the castle before heading into the town centre and returning to the car park via further canal-side paths.

    Facilities:
    There are public conveniences in the car park at the start of the Trail and in the town centre. There are also plenty of opportunities for refreshment in the town and some picnic opportunities along the canal at the start and finish points.

    Extend your trip:
    The Trail takes you past Skipton Castle which is well worth a visit (Admission charges and opening times apply). You will also walk past the Craven Museum which contains a wonderfully eclectic mix of exhibits (upstairs at the Town Hall, above Tourist Information - admission free, closed Tue and Sun). Short boat trips are available along the canal or you can even hire your own boat for a day or an evening. Market days are Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday.

    Parking:
    The official Long Stay car park on Coach Street is right next to the start point and offers cheaper hourly rates than many of the other car parks in Skipton. Follow signs for Long Stay parking.
