It is imperative that you all join in with the marvellous rendition of “On Ilkley Moor baht ‘at”. I will know if you don’t!
‘Where have you been since I saw you, I saw you? On Ilkley Moor without a hat‘
This week I went up to the moor, Ilkley Moor, where the far reaching views are particularly beautiful, especially on a bright and clear sunny autumn day such as this one.
In my teens I did some walking on the moor with a group from the youth club.
Also in my teens and with friends, I came up to the isolated Cow and Calf hotel that stands almost at the top. We came to the disco nights that mushroomed in the 60s. The discotheque was in the large basement and occasionally there were live bands, complete with psychedelic and strobe lighting.
“Ilkley Moor is part of the larger Rombald’s Moor, and lies directly above the lovely spa town of Ilkley, the moor is also home to a series of fascinating ancient monuments.

You definitely must come to Yorkshire Ray, and I’m beginning to think that even though Peter’s not a Yorkshireman he would make a super tour guide,and I could tag along!

As a Yorkshire lass, i appreciated this. Used to swim regularly in Ilkley Lido. Lovely 🙂
(We used to sing a line in Ilkley Moor Baht’at which went ‘On Ilkley Moor Baht’at – where’s that?, On Ilkley Moor Baht’at – where the ducks play football!”)
I am from East Yorkshire though, so perhaps that’s an excuse.
