Description
Join us as we head to the pretty, traditional Spa town of Ilkley for our Yorkshire Winter Warmer tour. Discovering Ilkley is a pleasure, it’s one of the coolest and liveliest towns in Yorkshire with much to offer the visitor. Be tempted by fine tearooms offering wonderful warming coffees and a pot of Yorkshire tea, treat yourself to an afternoon tea or a delicious cake. If shopping’s your thing Ilkley offers a unique and upmarket shopping experience. Find a cosy corner in a traditional pub with a roaring fire, there’s even a microbrewery on-site at the Flying Duck, there’s a hugely successful cinema, or go back to childhood at the Toy Museum, the choice is yours. If you’re a hiker or climber why not bring your gear and walking boots as the Cow and Calf Rocks sit majestically above the town. Ilkley is surrounded by magnificent countryside with Ilkley Moor waiting to be discovered, a beautiful panoramic backdrop to the charming town. During our stay visit Leeds and the Royal Armories. Take a scenic drive through the Yorkshire Dales with a Wensleydale Cheese Experience and a visit to historic Hawes. Blow away the cobwebs on this grand Yorkshire break.
