It’s dark, wet and horrible out there!

14th January 2023

January is such a miserable month, especially in the Yorkshire Dales where the short hours of daylight combined with a constant lid of dark rain clouds make enjoying life outside not much fun!

Whilst the fantastic scenery of the Yorkshire Dales still beckons, it’s not as enjoyable wrapped up in your rain clothes with rain pelting into your face. Many tourist attractions are also closed, so escaping insides from the weather leaves little choice other than cafes and bars.

Nonetheless some brave and hardy folk still like to venture to Skipton, mainly for long weekend breaks. It’s a good time to bag a bargain on a holiday cottage stay, as many have very few guests in January and prices are at their lowest. Just remember to bring your wellies and your raincoat!
