Back in October last year I took a trip to Ilkley and never got round to writing it up.
It's only just up the road, but more expensive and chi-chi - it's a Victorian spa town and it's really rather beautiful.
It's butted right up against the moors, and flood water pours into it every time it rains (according to what I've been told - I've never seen it in full flood.) Apparently the best fun of all is when there is overnight rainfall then a freeze, turning all the main streets into skating rinks and demolition derbies.
Anyway. This was a sunny late-October day and I did enjoy myself.
I don't really do the town justice, but I'm an individual, not a tourist blogger, so what you see is what you get.
The Winter Gardens (theatre).
I'd love to see something there, but it would probably have to be a matinee as I'm not sure how late the buses run. I shall make that my 2016 resolution.
Just round the corner is what I assume is the Theatre Bar.
I just liked the old advert on the side really.
