About Fencing in Skipton
Skipton in North Yorkshire has been known as the Gateway to the Dales since the Yorkshire Dales National Park was designated to the north of the town in 1954, though its castle has guarded the route for over 900 years, built in 1090 for the Norman lord Robert de Romille and later passing to the Clifford family in 1309, who made it their main residence for more than three hundred years. The castle withstood a three year siege by Cromwell's forces during the Civil War, and the town itself grew wealthy as a wool trading centre after gaining a market charter in 1204, with cotton mills later following the arrival of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in 1770.

Types of Materials found in Skipton

Ground closer to the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal can be softer, so a soil check is worthwhile there before deep post installation.
