Very excited but nervous about a move back to Yorkshire in the near future after 10 years with my young family - my girls are in years 1 and 5.
I wonder if anyone else has done this move from the Home Counties to Ilkley? I think my main concerns are my kids settling well. I’m so nervous but the schools do seem to be well regarded and luckily there is space.
My other (very small) concern is the weather - we love to spend time in the garden. More my husband’s concern than mine :)
Has it been a massive adjustment to those who have done this move for both you and your children?
Do kids tend to walk to school with their friends safely - is it a nice community for kids? My eldest now walks to school with her friends and loves it.
Do teens have enough to do to keep them out of trouble. I grew up nearby but not in the town itself. Can’t wait to be back but having a few wobbles.
Thank you for any advice from anyone who has done a similar move :)

@legosnowqueen thank you! It does sounds wonderful. Do you know is the local hospital Airedale and is that still good nowadays?

I wouldn't worry about the accents - lots of people in Ilkley aren't from Yorkshire...
