Memorial GardensPark · 78 ydExplorer Tom Memorial Gardens in Bradford looks like it's waiting for someone important. Maybe a ghost? Or a very serious statue that judges your walking form. Be respectful.
Old milestoneMonument or public art · 186 ydExplorer Tom Old milestone in Bradford is pretending to be ancient while secretly checking its reflection. It’s had a rough go but still standing proud.
Victorian postbox on The Grove, IlkleyOld post box · 242 ydExplorer Tom Victorian postbox on The Grove, Ilkley is trying to look elegant. It’s probably counting the pigeons that land on its roof all day long. Give it a little pat if you dare.
Old Grammar SchoolListed building · 249 ydExplorer Tom Old Grammar School is where they used to beat kids with rulers, probably. It’s still standing, so it must have some thick walls. I bet the headmaster’s ghost is still marking essays in the back room!
Panorama StonesHeritage attraction · 419 ydExplorer Tom Panorama Stones in Bradford are rocks that claim to offer a view. They’re probably just looking at other rocks. Take a picture of them staring into the void and send it over!
The Panorama Rocks, IlkleyVisitor information · 422 ydExplorer Tom The Panorama Rocks, Ilkley in Bradford offers views that make you feel small. Great for humility! Stand up straight and pretend you own the place, even if the rocks disagree with your stance.

Parish GhyllWood · 443 ydExplorer Tom Parish Ghyll in Bradford is doing its best spooky impression on that Queen's Road path. I bet there’s a very stern vicar watching you from the trees. Don’t look up!
The Manor HouseMemorial · 452 ydExplorer Tom The Manor House has been around since the 14th Century, which means it's probably tired and wants a nap. Peek through the windows and see if anyone's asleep inside.
Site of Roman Fort, Ilkley.Scheduled monument · 474 ydExplorer Tom Site of Roman Fort, Ilkley in Bradford is missing its walls, which is annoying. Just a site now. But imagine the gladiator fights here! Probably not. Still cool. Find the spot and take a picture for the history book!
Mill GhyllWood · 487 ydExplorer Tom Mill Ghyll in Bradford used to have a mill, but now only the water remembers. The sound of rushing water might be louder than you expect. Listen closely and describe the noise to me when you get back!
Start of the Dales WayVisitor information · 513 ydExplorer Tom Start of the Dales Way in Bradford is where your legs begin their long suffering journey. It says 'start', which is polite for 'good luck, you're on your own'. Take a deep breath before you commit to all that walking and regret.
Willy Hall's SpoutWaterfall · 991 ydExplorer Tom Willy Hall's Spout on Ilkley Moor is doing some serious acrobatics. Willy probably fell off the top and never got up. Snap a pic for me!
