White Wells on Ilkley Moor

For over 250 years this distinctive white building has stood alone on Ilkley Moor overlooking the town in the valley. It houses a spa bath, and it was popular in Victorian Times for those taking the waters - including Charles Darwin. To day it is a splendid place for tea and cakes, offering superb views to the north.
Recently been re-painted, making it more distinctive in its moorland surroundings.
