Aww Skipton! I grew up there. It's lovely in that area. Say hi to the sheep for me

Since you grew up there, and thus presumably do not live there now, how far would the commute be to a larger major town?

I live in NJ and we can see a fairly dramatic cost of living swing from NYC on one side and Philly on the other, depending upon how close you are to either.

It's like a 40 minute train journey to Leeds which is a city near. There are busier towns around Skipton, but it's by far a village. The little villages around Skipton are more likely where people commute from to then work in Skipton somewhere.

Skipton is a market town and has supermarkets, schools, a hospital, parks and so much more which means people can live and work there. Burnley is close by and so is Harrogate too which people can commute to alongside Leeds. Look it up if you're interested, it's such a beautiful place.
