This is a shot to give an idea of what had to be faced to assault the northern face of Skipton Castle-and the walkway is a modern construction dividing the old river bed into a canalised section and a waterway

Great photo ! It certainly does convey the difficulties an assault on the castle would entail.

This Castle withstood a three year siege in the Civil War -it was starved out,not taken. It was the last castle to fall to Cromwell in the North.
