- Join me for a walk around the delightful town centre of Ilkley, home to Edwardian, Victorian, Roman and even prehistoric heritage! One of Yorkshire's most beautiful towns, it's also home to the county's unofficial anthem, 'On Ilkla Moor Baht 'At'.
As we walk around Ilkley, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including The Town Hall, King's Hall & Winter Garden, Ilkley railway station, The Crescent Inn Hotel, All Saints' Church, Ilkley Roman Fort (Olicana/Verbeia), Manor House, the River Wharfe, Ilkley Arcade, Ilkley Memorial Gardens, Christchurch, and a glimpse up the hill towards the legendary Ilkley Moor.

My hometown,
Living over in New Zealand for now
Must say I do miss it sometimes
You're very lucky to call Ilkley home - I'm sure you're having a lovely time over in NZ but I hope this video brought back some nice memories for you :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for the tour. I was born here and miss being able to walk up to White Wells and the Cow and Calf rocks.
This is the only walk around Ilkley available online. I know, because I've been looking for one for quite a while! So glad you've covered it, LW. Such a quaint, historic town..............as most spa towns are. Thanks so much, LW.
I'm really happy to hear that - this is exactly what I love to do with this channel, showcasing some of the country's best places that people will love to see :)
Ilkley really is a lovely place, and I'm really glad you enjoyed this video!
Thank you for this video! A lot of interesting facts I didn't know about Ilkley! I am a Colombian who had the luck to live for almost a year in this wonderful town. I could see the Cow and Calf from my window and that is an image that will stay with me forever. I miss the place and I hope I can come back some day. On Ilkla Moor Baht At!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the video - and I'm sure you had an even more wonderful time when living in Ilkley! (Especially with a view of the Cow and Calf!)
I hope you get to return to Ilkley someday sooner rather than later! Thank you so much for watching and commenting :)
Beautiful town, looks almost perfect to me. THX
It's such a beautiful town! One of England's best spa towns and such an icon of Yorkshire :)

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Yorkshire is chock-full of amazing places to visit and walk about, and Ilkley is certainly one of its very best :)
Thank you for featuring the Wetherspoons in this video, I enjoy seeing how they repurpose buildings into convivial meeting places.
Thank you so much! It's always interesting to see how the pubs we know so well today have a history dating back far further. I'm sorry I didn't get to mention too much more about the Wetherspoons, but I'm happy to hear you enjoyed seeing it :)
Thank you for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
I'll make sure if I'm visiting there, I'll wear a hat.
Thank you for another fascinating journey.
That's the way! Not only is Yorkshire's anthem a great insight into its culture and the history of Ilkley, but it also comes with helpful travel tips too :)
Thanks for watching and commenting as always - I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying the videos!

@@LetsWalkUK THANKS VERY MUCH YOU TOO
I’ve lived in Ilkley for about eight years now, it’s always rather boring to me but videos like these make me realise how lucky I am to live here..
Wonderfully and historically presented. Used to live nearby in Shipley as an infant. Thank you for sharing this film. I'll share it on.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - there are so many wonderful places around Ilkley Moor and the canal as I'm sure you know well - Shipley, Saltaire and more included :)
what a lovely town! :)
Nice video what a lovely town thanks
Ilkley is quite charming...we had a look at the lovely Town to move too once ...I think it's quite expensive now..... Great video as always....
It is indeed a charming little village - and as you say among the more expensive in the region being near to the likes of Skipton and Harrogate, but it's certainly a wonderful place to visit :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for a fascinating and very informative video of Ilkley. I’ve only ever driven through it and Otley once on my way to visit my daughter’s family in Kendal from Bedfordshire. I’ve stopped using the M1 a a bad M6. Next time I’ll definitely be stopping off to explore both of these lovely gems. Thanks again.
Made me quite homesick!
I can understand why! Ilkley is such a lovely town - hopefully this video brought back some nice memories for you though :)
Thank you so much for watching!
@@LetsWalkUK it did, thank you. And I spotted my uncle in his van also :)
I used to do night deliveries to a certain coffee shop in Ilkley. One night after i had put the delivery in the back room. I was walking threw the shop to go out the door. A small door knob came flying straight down the middle of the shop and hit me on my chest. I couldn't set the alarm and lock the doors quick enough. I never looked in the glass door when locking or unlocking ever again.
Ta Love.
No worries! And thank you very much for watching the video - I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice video,are you doing a walk of Scarborough in the near future
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) I've actually never been to Scarborough before - I'm certainly going to be making a video there, hoping for a nice sunny day to make the seaside really sparkle. Stay tuned for it!
I use to go there every year,before the lockdown,it's a great place to visit,
@@chriswright1021 I'm looking forward to it!
