LOCAL AREA
Described by The Guardian as ‘a la-di-da spa town’ Ilkley certainly rivals its nearby neighbour of Harrogate thanks to its blossom-lined streets, well-heeled stores, refined wine bars, and of course, the famous Bettys Cafe Tea Rooms. Akin to its North Yorkshire counterpart, people began flocking to Ilkley in the 19th century to soak up the therapeutic air and restorative, moorland waters. These famous moors that were the inspiration for the well-known folk song ‘On Ilkla Moor Baht ‘t’ now welcome walkers seeking out the breath-taking views from the Cow and Calf Rocks which sit majestically above the town.
