Parking: There's pay and display on-street parking on New Brook Street, but the spaces nearest the bridge are limited to three hours, which isn't long enough. You'll need to park for at least four hours. If you drive a little further along over the bridge (heading out of Ilkley) the spaces there do not have the three-hour limit. The nearest free parking we know of is on Denton Road. To reach this carry on over the bridge out of Ilkley and after about another 200m, turn left onto Denton Road and park there. There's no time restriction on the parking there. Allow enough time to walk back to the bridge to meet us!
The bridge is about 300m from Ilkley Railway Station and Bus Station.
