Our first stop was unplanned as we cleaned Thomas up after he became car sick. Still, the view was nice and he felt a lot better after.
Our next stop was in Skipton where we visited one of the most complete Medieval Castles in England. The defensive walls were amazingly thick and yet the internal courtyard was very pretty. It was bitterly cold and at one point there was a brief flurry of snow, which added to the drama of the castle.
The drive North to Hawes was increasingly spectacular, along narrow twisting roads, over humpbacked bridges and up over high bare fells.
There was a little tension in Hawes as we waited while the infomation center looked for a B&B whch was still open, but they found us a room at an Inn (the White Hart) which turned out to be practically empty and very nice. The whole thing was very Christmassy and yet we didn't have to resort to a stable, which was nice.
