The Cow and Calf

Hangingstone Road, Ilkley: opposite the famous rock outcrop of the same name, this wonderful pub offers good grub and drinks to go with. Depending on what the weather is doing, the real ale and real fires may cause you to want to stay longer than you anticipated. A great place in winter or summer time.
