Description
Sample two of Skipton’s most popular attractions together!
Skipton Boat Trips have teamed up with Bizzie Lizzie’s to offer you an unforgettable experience on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. Departing from our wharf in Skipton’s picturesque canal basin, you’ll travel along the canal, where drinks from our fully licensed bar, including a range of local beers, will be served to your table.
You’ll then be served award-winning Yorkshire fish and chips, with the option of that Northern staple, mushy peas! Meals come right out of Busy Lizzie’s straight to your table all piping hot and freshly wrapped in paper. As you enjoy your meal, you’ll travel through the beautiful Yorkshire countryside, arriving back in Skipton after two hours, feeling content and well fed!
A gluten-free alternative and the choice of sausage instead of fish is also available.
