About

Ilkley ward encompasses the town of Ilkley and its surrounding moorland edges within the Bradford district. The area is defined by the River Wharfe to the south and the steep rise of Ilkley Moor to the north. The town centre is a mix of local shops and businesses, with residential streets extending outwards. The landscape is a clear blend of built environment and open countryside, with the moor providing a prominent backdrop visible from many parts of the town.

A key feature is the expanse of Ilkley Moor, a large area of open access land marked by rocky outcrops and historic stone carvings. The moorland paths are used for walking and recreation, leading to landmarks like the Cow and Calf rocks. The town maintains several parks and green spaces, including the Riverside Gardens along the Wharfe. Transport links include a railway station providing direct services to Leeds and Bradford.
