Cow And Calf Walk, Ilkley Moor Walks In Yorkshire, England, UK
Cow And Calf Walk, Ilkley Moor Walks In Yorkshire, England, UK
Cow And Calf Walk (Ilkley Moor Walks) was about 5 miles in distance. The terrain of the route was a combination of moorland paths and tracks. The walking was easy on relatively level ground with gentle slopes and a few short steep ridge slopes. Route finding was a little difficult due to the flat nature of the moorland and a lack of waymarking, so good map-reading skills would be advisable. However, there were some useful landmarks like rock outcrops and streams to aid navigation. Some of the paths were very wet, muddy and slippery in places. Boardwalks and rocks at stream crossings could also be slippery. There were no stiles to negotiate.

Ilkley is a spa town and civil parish in West Yorkshire, in Northern England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Ilkley civil parish includes the adjacent village of Ben Rhydding and is a ward within the metropolitan borough of the City of Bradford. Approximately 12 miles (19 km) north of Bradford and 17 miles (27 km) northwest of Leeds, the town lies mainly on the south bank of the River Wharfe in Wharfedale, one of the Yorkshire Dales.
Ilkley's spa town heritage and surrounding countryside make tourism an important local industry. The town centre is characterised by Victorian architecture, wide streets and floral displays. Ilkley Moor, to the south of the town, is the subject of a folk song, often described as the unofficial anthem of Yorkshire, On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at. The song's words are written in Yorkshire dialect, its title translated as On Ilkley Moor without a hat.
Ilkley is within the travel-to-work radius of Leeds and Bradford. Leeds is 18 miles (29 km) away and Bradford 15.6 miles (25.1 km) by road, with a railway connection offering about 35 trains to each destination per day from Ilkley railway station. The railway, before the Beeching axe, also connected to Addingham, Bolton Abbey and Skipton to the west, and to Otley, Pool-in-Wharfedale, meeting the main Leeds to Harrogate line at Arthington.
Ilkley is a tourist destination and is used as a base from which to explore the famous moor and the countryside beyond. Ilkley is a shopping town that sells everything from game, fine wine, expensive fashions and fine art. The Victorian parades of the Grove and Brook Street have a selection of speciality shops. The town's original Victorian arcade has been restored as an indoor shopping walkway complete with a fountain and hanging baskets. Bettys, the Yorkshire tea room, has a shop in the town.
Ilkley lies on the A65 road, which runs between Leeds and Kendal. The nearest substantial motorways are the M62 at Bradford, and the M1 at Leeds, and the A1(M) at Wetherby. The civil parish is served by two railway stations: Ilkley terminus and Ben Rhydding. These are linked by the Wharfedale Line upon which trains run between Ilkley and Leeds/Bradford Forster Square stations.
Ilkley town centre is a tourist attraction with a high number of small independent shops. Of particular note is Lishman's of Ilkley, an award-winning butcher shop whose owner, David Lishman, became one of Rick Stein's superheroes in 2003. Ilkley is one of five towns to feature a Bettys tearoom and is home to the Michelin-starred Box Tree restaurant
Ilkley Toy Museum has a collection of toys dating from 350 BC and a collection of English wooden dolls. Ilkley is home to the largest and oldest literary festival in the North of England, the Ilkley Literature Festival.
