Useful tips for bus travellers

• Be sure to check the departure schedule in advance, as the direct bus from Harrogate to Skipton only operates twice a week on Saturdays; you can find the timetable on the Transdev Harrogate website: transdevbus.co.uk

• When you arrive at Skipton's Market Place bus stop, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the area; there's a local tourist information center nearby where you can pick up a map and ask for tips about attractions, and it's just a short walk from Skipton Castle.

• Bring along snacks or light refreshments for the approximately 1-hour and 14-minute journey, as bus services on this route typically do not have onboard catering; there are convenient shops at Harrogate Bus Station where you can stock up before departure.
