The Castle Inn is a historic pub in Skipton, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.
The pub was built in the early 19th century, on Mill Bridge, by Skipton Castle. The building was grade II listed in 1978. [1] The pub has been refurbished on several occasions, including in 2015 at a cost of £200,000. In 2014, it was named Yorkshire's Top Pub in the White Rose Awards. A local legend states that a ghost of an old woman haunts the building. [2] [3]
The pub is built of stone, with eaves modillions and a slate roof. It has three storeys and three bays. The central doorway has a round-arched head, a semicircular fanlight with Gothic glazing, and a pediment on simple consoles. The windows are sashes, and at the rear is a round-arched stair window. Recessed to the right is the former stable wing, lower, whitewashed, and with two storeys. It contains a barn door, a doorway with a fanlight and a modern window, and on the upper floor are two sash windows and a loft door. [1]
