In today's vlog, we’re heading to the charming spa town of Ilkley in West Yorkshire! After a wonderful 1940s-themed day in Haworth, we decided to spend the day exploring everything Ilkley has to offer.
Join us as we wander through the beautiful Riverside Gardens and take a peaceful walk along the River Wharfe. We also discover a hidden tranquil oasis at Mill Ghyll and, by pure chance, stumble upon the former home of John Cunliffe, the creator of Postman Pat!
We also take on the steep climb to visit the stunning St Margaret’s Parish Church—a true hidden gem with incredible stained glass—and explore the town's independent shops, the famous Bettys Café Tea Rooms, and the historic memorial gardens.
