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.
