A brand new family-friendly walking tour is launching in Skipton this summer, taking visitors on a humorous journey through the town's smelliest corners.
Created by the team behind the popular Skipton Ghost Tour, A Pooey Peasant's Guide to Stinkin' Skipton is an interactive history walk aimed at children and families during the school holidays.
The experience is led by Smelda Brown, a fictional 18th-century Skipton peasant who has "time travelled" to the present day to reveal what life in the town was really like before modern sanitation.
Along the way, visitors will discover some of Skipton's stinkiest stories while exploring locations including Castle Gates, Sheep Street, the historic yards, the canal, Victoria Street and Coach Street, before finishing at the Canal Basin.
The creators say the tour combines local history with comedy and is designed to appeal to children while giving adults plenty to enjoy too.
Tours begin on Thursday (23 July) and will run throughout the summer holidays every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 1pm and 3pm.
Tickets cost £5 per person, dogs are welcome Booking ahead is encouraged at https://yorkshireghosttours.com
