    Tips

    October 6, 2020

    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.

      Can get very busy but an easy vantage point to access from the road for the classic wharfedale views
