Local knowledge — Cheap Taxi in Ilkley
Ilkley is a spa town in the City of Bradford in West Yorkshire, set in Wharfedale at the foot of Ilkley Moor. The town developed as a fashionable Victorian spa resort after the discovery of medicinal springs, and its elegant Victorian architecture, independent shops, and restaurants have made it one of the most desirable towns in West Yorkshire. Ilkley Moor — immortalised in the Yorkshire anthem "On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at" — rises steeply above the town and offers some of the finest moorland walking in the county. The town is also home to the Cow and Calf Rocks, one of the most iconic natural landmarks in Yorkshire.

About Ilkley
- Ilkley Moor is the setting for "On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at" — the unofficial anthem of Yorkshire, written in the 1880s. The song tells the story of a young man courting his sweetheart on the moor without a hat, and the consequences that will follow. It is sung at Yorkshire cricket matches, rugby league games, and civic events across the county.
- The Cow and Calf Rocks on Ilkley Moor are an iconic millstone grit outcrop consisting of a large boulder (the Cow) and a smaller one (the Calf) that have become one of the most photographed natural landmarks in Yorkshire. The rocks are a popular destination for climbers and walkers.
- Ilkley Lido, opened in 1935, is one of the finest surviving outdoor lidos in England — a heated open-air pool set against the backdrop of Ilkley Moor. It is open from May to September and attracts swimmers from across West Yorkshire.
