Ilkley is proud to be voted The Sunday Times Best Place to Live in the UK 2022, for its top schools, interesting independent shops and restaurants, its spectacular scenery and convenient rail links. The judges were impressed by sports clubs and the opportunities they offer for young people and the energetic community spirit: volunteering is a big part of life in Ilkley and the town's lovely cinema and thriving market were all launched by the local residents.
