Known as the Heather Spa, Ilkley is a moorland town on the edge of Yorkshire Dales National Park, amongst some of the most spectacular and unspoilt scenery in the country.

Ilkley offers visitors the chance to climb impressive rocky outcrops and walk on Ilkley Moor and the Dales Way.

The town itself is charming, and has an unhurried atmosphere with tree-lined avenues, select shops and excellent restaurants, and cosy guest-houses.

Ilkley has established itself as a holiday town and is renowned for healthy exercise and fresh air - an ideal place to explore the famous moor and the lovely Yorkshire countryside beyond.

Ilkey is just a short distance from Leeds, and with a typical journey time of just 30 minutes by train, it is probably the nearest and most accessible countryside in the area. A must for all visitors to Leeds who want to experience some of Yorkshire's best countryside.
