High up on the southbound road
out of Ilkley is the Cow & Calf. This pub has stunning views of the Ilkley
Moors which is a perfect respite for walkers returning from their expedition. The
pub itself has a very strange shaped car park, perhaps because of the steepness
of the hill; and there’s an overflow area with a marquee for outdoor events.
There’s even upstairs living quarters which can be rented out. The pub itself isn’t
the most attractive buildings; it looks like it’s been converted from an old
farmhouse, but inside it’s very cosy and the seats just want to make you curl
up. It’s named after the rocks nearby and the beer is kept very well.
Unfortunately I was driving so I was only able to have a half of the Roosters; which
was very crisp and full of flavour. The other beers do tempt me back for a
second visit.
