More NewsWelcome to The Cow and Calf
The Cow and Calf is well known in Ilkley and across West Yorkshire as a fine country pub. A popular pub restaurant famous for great food, we are situated on Ilkley Moor with stunning views overlooking The Cow and Calf Rocks, Ilkley's most famous landmark. There is always a warm welcome with roaring log fires, freshly prepared food, a great selection of real ales and a diverse wine menu for you to choose from.
A Little Pub History
In 1844, the country's first hydropathic hotel, The Benrhydding was built on the site of The Cow and Calf. In 1873 the building became a private residence called Highfield House, then in 1949 it became a boarding house. When visiting The Cow and Calf, look out for great views across Wharfedale and historic features, like the old Victorian well that still sits in the grounds.
