Ilkley is a relatively remote town. Due to its rough terrains it doesn’t have a motorway nearby. Instead, Ilkley is linked by “A” roads to other surrounding towns and cities such as Bradford and Leeds to the South, Skipton to the West, and Harrogate to the East. In 1859, Charles Darwin decided to escape to Ilkley. He’d just published his book “Origin of Species” and wanted to avoid the controversy of his theories. The Moor is a beautiful, huge area of heather-covered hills, valleys, and rivers. Plus, it has stunning views of the Yorkshire Dales and the town of Ilkley in the distance.

Cup and Ring marks have been found along with the remains of dwellings on Ilkley Moor.Before his arrival, Darwin became exhausted and was suffering from a mystery illness. This prompted him to visit Ilkley for its healing wells and to use it as a retreat from the storm which was brewing in London over the theories outlined in the book.
