Life on the Canal Basin
Looking out across the canal wall, you get a view of Skipton's bustling canal basin. In the clip, the local narrowboat SAM No. 2—part of the classic Pennine Cruisers fleet—gently idles in the water, ready to take visitors on 30-minute trips up the historic Springs Branch canal towards Skipton Castle.
Why It’s the Perfect Spot to Unwind
Prime Waterside Views: Enjoy watching colorful narrowboats, ducks, and passersby strolling along the towpath.
Historic Charm: Settled right by the bridge near Coach Street, it's a great spot to enjoy a cold pint of real ale or craft beer in the outdoor seating area.
Gateway to the Dales: Located right in the heart of Skipton, it captures the quintessentially British atmosphere of canal life.
Whether you're stopping by after a trip on the canal or just grabbing a drink in the afternoon sun, this spot outside the Royal Shepherd is easily one of the best vantage points in town!

Fresh on cask! 🍻
We've got an absolute belker pouring right now alongside a cracking pint lined up:
✨ Cloudwater – Tank Busta (8.5% ABV)
A clean, hazy DDH DIPA packed with big tropical fruit flavors and a resinous finish. (£8.50)
✨ Pennine Brewery – Amber Necker (3.8% ABV)
Rich in color with a malty toffee, roasted aroma, and a smooth, rounded flavor. (£4.90)
Have a favorite real ale or cask beer you’d love to see on tap here? Let us know what you're fancying and we'll see about getting it pulled! 🍺👇
