Ilkley Essentials

Ilkley’s heritage spans from the Roman fort of Olicana to its 19th-century prominence as a fashionable spa town. This collection features the Ilkley Manor House, constructed on Roman foundations, and the 18th-century White Wells spa baths on the moor. Architectural highlights include Edwin Lutyens’ Neoclassical Heathcote villa and the King’s Hall theatre. The town’s refined character is preserved in the Victorian Arcade and the renowned Box Tree restaurant, while All Saints Church houses rare Anglo-Saxon stone crosses.
