Ilkley, situated in the magnificent County of West Yorkshire, is a celebrated spa town and a treasure trove of architectural and historical gems. Fondly nestled on the south bank of the River Wharfe, the city offers an eclectic blend of spa town culture, Victorian architectural grandeur, and ancient historical marvels.

Once a coveted fashionable haunt of 19th-century spa enthusiasts, the town is renowned for Ilkley Moor, the muse of the legendary folk song “On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at,” or the unofficial anthem of Yorkshire. With rich archaeological remnants dating back to the Mesolithic period, the All Saints' Church housing 8th-century Anglo-Saxon crosses, and the iconic Lishman's of Ilkley, it is a place where history seeps through the town's charming streets.

When to visit Ilkley

For impeccable weather and maximum enjoyment of Ilkley's natural splendour, choose to visit in the warmest months of July, August, and June. However, if you prioritise a less crowded experience, the shoulder months of April, September, and June offer a slightly cooler, drier climate with fewer tourists.

Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) also hold allure, with a moderate influx of visitors and a distinct beauty of the transitioning seasons. If you're undeterred by a British winter's chill, the quieter months from December to February offer a cosily romantic experience of snowy landscapes and roaring pub fires. Whichever time you choose, Ilkley's charm persists year-round.
