Middleton has long been regarded as Ilkley’s prime residential area, its history going back to the release of land by the Myddleton family towards the end of the 19th Century. Home to substantial period properties within leafy private gardens, Middleton also plays host to the town’s popular lido and pool as well as the cricket and rugby clubs. And yet central amenities are only a short walk away.

llkley is renowned for its first-class shopping, where ‘High Street’ stores rub shoulders with a colourful mix of independent shops. There are comprehensive dining opportunities, from fine dining to family favourites, along with a local cinema, theatre and the Winter Gardens which regularly host popular performances.

The town is blessed with highly regarded schools, although a number of private schools for children of all ages are within comfortable travelling distance. Ilkley is surrounded by some of the finest countryside in the region - the River Wharfe and rugged moors offering many an opportunity for rural pursuits including invigorating walks, challenging mountain biking and road cycling. Local clubs cater for traditional sports such as hockey, rugby, tennis and golf.

Beyond this wonderful setting the town forms an ideal base for the West Yorkshire business traveller, with the local cities of Leeds and Bradford, as well as nearby Harrogate, all being within comfortable commuting distance. From Ilkley station there are frequent services throughout the day into both local cities, and from Leeds there are connections to London King’s Cross throughout the day. Leeds Bradford International airport is 10 miles away.

No wonder Ilkley was announced in spring 2022, as the Sunday Times Best Place to Live!
