Ilkley – officially the best place to live in the UK

According to The Sunday Times, the best place to live in the UK is Ilkley.. we may be biased, but we definitely agree!!

Ilkley was chosen for its choice of outstanding schools, interesting shops, spectacular scenery and convenient rail links. With its energetic community spirit and volunteer schemes, a selection of independent shops, small chains and beautiful outdoor spaces, the town offers a wonderful community environment.

Ilkley has been described as a “small town with a big heart” and it truly is the people that make this town the town that it is.

The town’s cinema is at the heart of the bustling high street with a popular market held on the first Sunday of every month with stalls from over 30 local and speciality producers, which include existing Ilkley retailers, community initiatives and charities.

Springfield’s Mayfield View Care Home is perfectly located in the centre of Ilkley town, walking distance from the Main Street and all the town’s amenities. Whether you fancy a trip to the garden centre or to meet a friend for a coffee, it really is all on your doorstep when you live at Mayfield View.
