The Flying Duck is a traditional Yorkshire Dales real ale and fine wine bar situated in Ilkley town centre. Unique in the area, the Flying Duck incorporates its own brewing facilities with the new Wharfedale Brewery located in a barn at the rear of the pub. The building dates back to 1709 and retains many of its original features including stone and oak wooden floors, beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and real open fires. Between the pub and the brewery is a raised decked beer garden with an impressive viewing gallery. The Flying Duck serves nine cask real ales, real ciders, continental lagers, bottle beers from around the world and an extensive range of fine wines, whiskies and spirits.
I can’t believe that we have never tried this pub before, what an amazing place, it is full of history and character, yet it feels very welcoming and cosy. We had the sausage and mash which was delicious, according to my husband the locally brewed beer he had was fantastic with plenty of further choice displayed on the bar. Finally a place is only as good as the people who work there and we were served by two very polite and efficient gentlemen. We shall be back and would certainly recommend a visit.

The Manor House museum and art gallery (just behind the All Saints Church on the A65 in Ilkley) was officially reopened in the Spring of 2018, with Alan Titchmarsh, an ex-Ilkley choir-boy, doing the honours. It's a beautiful old building, built on the site of a Roman Fort, some of which has survived. The opening times vary, according to what's going on, e.g. may be open several days a week during The Ilkley Literature Festival, though usually only open at weekends, with a variety of historical, art, musical and dance events throughout the year, including lots for children to see and do. I'm told there are some closures planned for late 2018 to replace the heating system, so visit their website for opening times and days, before visiting.
