View of New Dam and Reva Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

As you travel along Hillings Lane look out to the west and you will be rewarded with a glorious view of New Dam and further away Reva Reservoir. As well as Hawksworth Moor and Bingley Moor. From here you can appreciate the beauty of both Yorkshire farmland and Yorkshire Moorland.

Cow and Calf Rocks

Highlight • Natural Monument

Cow and Calf Rocks are an impressive rocky outcrop high on Ilkley Moor. From the rocks, you get sublime views over Ilkley and Wharfedale. You can have a lot of fun climbing the rocks, too (although do take care). The millstone grit and sandstoner landmark get its name because the smaller rock sits near a much larger formation, like a calf near to its mother.

Pentley Hill Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

High up here at Pentley Hill, there are fantastic views to the west and north west across Silsden Moor and Skipton Moor, plus north to Langbar Moor. It's an ideal place to get great views without having to climb too high (by Yorkshire standards anyway).

It is particularly special at sunset when the moors become silhouetted against the lowering sun.

View of Steeton Moor

Highlight • Viewpoint

Fantastic views up here of Steeton Moor and across to the other side of the valley.

The whole of Redcar Lane from the Tarn and past the farm buildings has great views off to the north east.
