Every year hundreds of people visit the town to discover its intriguing history and enjoy the spa heritage, panoramic views, leisure facilities, festivals, shops, excellent eateries and of course the river with its rocky beaches and abundant wildlife.

Refill Ilkley took on the challenge of growing the number of Refill participants from one inspired trader to fifteen in its initial drive. Active people in the Ilkley area walking the countryside, cycling, sightseeing, shopping and enjoying the riverside need to rehydrate and offering an environmentally friendly way to do this is something the town is proud of. Seeing people pulling together to reduce plastic pollution is great!

The iconic Cow and Calf Rocks and the beautiful landscape all around are in need of continuous protection from the blight of plastic pollution. Fill up your reusable bottle at the nearest Refill station.
