Famous
around the world for On Ilkla' Moor Baht 'At, the song
which celebrates it and which is now pretty much Yorkshire's
'national anthem', Ilkley Moor looms over the genteel
West Yorkshire town of Ilkley - and White Wells is one
of its most well-known landmarks. The building is named
after its spring water bath and well which some people
believe dates back to Roman times and which allegedly
has healing properties.
For its part, Ilkley's been the site of numerous UFO
sightings out on the moor, Jimi Hendrix once played
here at the Troutbeck Hotel, the town is the home of
a very famous tea shop, and an annual literary festival
is held here which attracts some very big names like
Benjamin Zephaniah, Jamie Oliver and Ian Rankin to name
but three!
But, it's the moor which it could be argued MAKES Ilkley.
With the Cow
and Calf Rocks, White
Wells perched on top, and all that heather -
it just can't be beaten if you want a true taste of
West Yorkshire!

Getting
there...
|
You
can't miss the moors once you get to Ilkley, which is
easily reachable on the A65 heading towards Skipton. There
are also regular bus and train services to the town.
White
Wells is visible if you approach the moors from Ilkley
town centre. It's a bit of a climb up to White Wells,
but it IS Worth it. For people with disabilities, if you
ring in advance of your visit then the barrier at the
bottom of the driveway up to White Wells can be opened.
