Ben Rhydding is to be found on the eastern side of Ilkley. A most desirable community in its own right, favoured for its village feel with good local shops, one of the district’s most sought after primary schools, train station and Wheatley Arms Hotel. Ilkley town centre is approximately a mile away and having been voted The Sunday Times Best Place to Live in the UK 2022 and has just been voted regional winner in 2025, offers top schools, interesting independent shops and restaurants, spectacular scenery and convenient rail links. The judges were impressed by sports clubs and the opportunities they offer for young people and the energetic community spirit: volunteering is a big part of life in Ilkley and the town's lovely cinema and thriving market were all launched by the local residents. Situated within the heart of the Wharfe Valley, surrounded by the famous Moors to the south and the River Wharfe to the north, Ilkley is regarded as an ideal base for the Leeds / Bradford commuter.
