With summer sadly coming to an end I hope we have a few more good weeks of weather before we have to prepare for the countdown to winter . Getting out and about and taking in some fresh air is always beneficial for the mind and spirit.

Situated about 30 minutes from Leeds is the beautiful town of Ilkley. One of the key attraction in Ilkley is the Ilkley moors with breath taking views and fantastic walks it is popular with bikers, rock climbers, keen ramblers and even perfect for the family wanting to stretch their legs or walk the dog.

The Cow and Calf pub and cafe is a fantastic start and finish point with healthy food available. Walking at the Cow And Calf, Ilkley only takes about an hour and takes you from the popular parking place at the Cow & Calf Rocks to the quieter areas beyond.
It is very easy underfoot to view the route and for more information click here 

If an hour walk isn’t for you then plan your own route or just walk round the clearly visible paths. Its great for kids as offers secret hiding places and plenty of room to burn some energy! Take a picnic and take in the beautiful views!
