About Fencing in Ilkley
Ilkley in West Yorkshire has been inhabited since at least the Mesolithic period, and the Romans later built a fort here in 79 AD known as Olicana, with remains still visible behind the town's Manor House museum. The town's more recent fame comes from its time as a fashionable Victorian spa, a reputation that began in 1760 when local landowners the Middletons built a series of cold water plunge baths high on the moor known as White Wells. Today Ilkley is also known for its excellent food scene, home to both a Bettys tea room and the Michelin starred Box Tree restaurant, where the chef Marco Pierre White trained early in his career.
