    Great place with mesmerising natural beauty and stunning view of ilkley. It’s located on a walkway while trekking upwards towards ilkley moor. History of the Wells is summarised on a metal plate here. There are public washrooms here just across the road in similar white coloured building. The only deficiency here is lack of snack shop here all the way to the moor.

    Great views from this cottage. A good spot to take a minute and take in the views and relax after the incline up to it!

    We decided to drive 1 hour 20 mins for a nice, free day out with my 11 year old daughter, dog and freind. We had made a packed lunch and knew there was no admission fee to go into the Spa which is why we chose to go there as money is tight right now. To cut a long story short (I am going into the full details though a complaint with Bradford Council of how unreasonable, nasty and Malfeasance the people were) I was told we couldn’t get into the spa unless I gave the man money. I explained, stood in my swim suit & towel, I didn’t have any money on me but had some in the car back at the car park so asked if we could go in now and I would pop back up after given it was getting very hot and I needed to get the dog out the sun shortly and my little girl was stood waiting in her swimsuit. He said NO - I had to go and get the money from the car or we couldn’t go in!! No empathy or understanding to the child or dog whatsoever. Not to mention it’s a FREE council activity!! This is not only wrong but the way the woman & man approached the whole situation was terrible, not at all what I want my child to whiteness and ruined what we hoped to be a nice day out. After looking on trip advisor I see their rudeness and unhelpfulness was not a one off! If you go to this FREE public place - make sure you take money or you may face a long walk back to the car!!

    Great rest spot after the taxing slog out of Ilkley (trust me it gets easier after here). Fantastic landmark and amazing history. Be sure to bring your boots as it can be a bit dicey when muddy. Head south for Ilkley moors and the poetry trail and west for a great loop hike around the valley.

    Welcome to Ilkley. This is one of the most historical places in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. This is an old house containing a well. Here is inside of the building now.

  • 5/5 Russell O. 4 years ago on Google
    Walk straight up from Ilkley to the moor past White Wells, stunning views all the way!

  • 5/5 David 6 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite spots to visit when I am home. Recommend the walk for the view.

    Called in at White Wells after a very pleasant walk over Ilkley Moors from Baildon. Had a look around the plunge pool, which they will let you take a dip in if you're brave enough, I'm not, then called in next door for a hot chocolate.

    Nice circulate walk that included a visit to Ilkley for coffee by the river. Plenty of history, the health spa of the old days.

    Ilkley Cow & Calf has many walking routes to offer. It’s a nice surprise to see an historical bath here and the story behind! Just 30 mins walk from the Cow & Calf rocks.

    Came upon this little gem last week, We have been to Ilkley a few times and never knew about this, If your ever in Ilkley check it out, Well worth the short climb.
