Walking in Ilkley

Ilkley has walking routes for all abilities. If you fancy a short walk, there are lots of pleasant strolls onto Ilkley Moor or around Middleton Woods and the River Wharfe. For a more vigorous walk why not walk to Addingham and back or admire the views while walking the length and breadth of Ilkley Moor.

You'll also find information on long distance walks which start in Ilkley, like the Dales Way or other walks like the Millennium Way, a circular walk round Bradford district. There's also lots of walker friendly accommodation in Ilkley and the surrounding countryside.   

There is also a regular programme of guided walks in the area, many of which start or include Ilkley & Wharfedale. Guided walks are a great way to learn more about the local area and a good way to meet fellow walkers.
