Exploring Yorkshire: Ilkley

Last weekend, Tour de France fever hit Yorkshire as the entire county (and their dogs) donned yellow jerseys and lined the streets to cheer on the cyclists as they whizzed past. I watched it in the centre of Leeds on Saturday, but on Sunday Rob and I drove up to Ilkley to take in the aftermath. Ilkley is about 30 minutes away from Leeds. It's somewhere Rob and I like to go when we want to escape the city and take in some greenery while maintaining close distance to civilisation. The perfect small town, nestled in a valley with spectacular views, beautiful old buildings... and a branch of Boots. I can imagine myself living in Ilkley when I'm older...
