Ilkley. Find me something to do in Ilkley.

[Cappuccino]

I have to go there to try some shoe shop which just might have shoes which fit over dd1s enormous new foot splints

but it's an hour and a half away

can I do something else with a 6 yr old and 2 yr old rather than just buying shoes and coming home?

Betty's Tea Room for a treat
'eat your hat??' eh??

bah't 'at means without one's hat.

deffo Bradford Film museum

The Bradford film museum is great but to be brutally honest, its not worth staying there for anything else
It really has gone downhill very very quickly IMO.

lol

you definitely don't catch your death of cold from eating your headgear

good suggestions though

is there a park if it's sunny?

they have a lovely riverside play park, cafe and duck feeding

where's nottanotter - she knows the area I believe

I live there cappuccino!

There are loads of great places to eat with kids - Escape just oppposite the shoe shop id SO child friendly and good value

'Create' - in a victorian arcade 1 min from shoe shops is a pottery cafe with decent coffee and cakes and children can paint pots or do other crafts

Visit the Tarn /White wells spa/Darwin gardens

Great Park and riverside walks

Bluebell woods

Panorama Woods/Hebers Ghyll walks

Cow and Calf Rocks

The Lido is 10 minute walk away

The Manor house has childrens Art workshops on a saturday

Bettys Tea Rooms

Pizza Express

Fish restaurant (Monkfish)

ask me if you want more.....

Cap when are you going?

well remembered FMV!!!!

blimey, NAO, i summoned you quickly, eh?

NAO, we've been over to the park a couple of times and I often wonder if you're ther somewhere...

Bradford and leeds are half an hour away

where are you FMV?

I am the old haggard one in the corner yelling like a fishwife!

What about Eureaka at Halifax. Thats not all that far from there is it?

'Arragit!

off tomorrow I hope

notanotter great suggestions! cow and calf rocks etc are out cos we need disabled access for dd1

went there quite a bit pre-kids cos we lived in west yorkshire, used to blow our hangovers away at cow and calf rocks

I love Ilkley, haven't been there for ages... NotanOtter where is Create?

did Eureka a couple of weeks ago while staying with inlaws

it's nightmarish; like something out of Lord of the Flies

the mini Marks and Spencers looked like it was being looted

in the victoran arcade just below the car park little miss bossy!

Oh, Betty's Tea Room must be done. I recommend their 'Fat Rascals'.

That sounds good, I know where you mean - thanks.
Bettys mmmmm, their Yorkshire curd tart is the best
