✨ Your Skipton, Inside the Magic
19th October 2025
There’s a certain sparkle in the air around Skipton at the moment — and it’s not just the autumn leaves turning gold. Rumours are swirling faster than a broomstick in a Quidditch final: Skipton is getting a touch of Harry Potter magic.
That’s right — our friendly Yorkshire market town has found itself under the spell of film crews, scaffolding, and plenty of speculation. Local chatter suggests that something very magical is being filmed right here on our streets. Could it be the new Harry Potter series everyone’s talking about? No one’s saying for sure (and perhaps a little “Muffliato” charm has been cast to keep things quiet), but the excitement is real.
🎥 Magic in the Dales
Of course, the Yorkshire Dales already have strong Potter connections. Just a short drive from Skipton lies Malham Cove, the dramatic limestone formation where Harry and Hermione camped out in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. If you’ve ever wandered along that epic rock pavement, you’ll recognise the scene instantly — it’s pure wizarding countryside.
Now, with filming happening right in Skipton itself, you could say our corner of Yorkshire has officially joined the map of magical movie locations.
🏡 Stay Where the Magic Happens
If you’re planning a trip to see what all the fuss is about (or just hoping to spot a wand or two), Thisledo Holiday Cottage is the perfect base. Nestled in the heart of Skipton, our cosy stone cottage offers all the comforts of home — and just maybe, a bit of Hogwarts-level charm.
Wander from our doorstep to the famous market, climb up to Skipton Castle (no moving staircases, but it’s still wonderfully medieval), or take a drive over to Malham Cove for your own spellbinding adventure.
And when you return, you can curl up by the fire, pour a Butterbeer (or something stronger), and plan your next magical day out.
🐾 Dogs Welcome — Even the Four-Legged Kind
At Thisledo, dogs are welcome too — whether they answer to “Rover” or “Padfoot.” After all, a Yorkshire break is best enjoyed with a loyal companion, magical or otherwise.
