Esholt Sports and Leisure Club

As it's Yorkshire, walks among spectacular scenery are all around: make for the Yorkshire Dales National Park 10 miles away to access many miles of trails, as well traditional villages and old market towns. Nearby, Esholt Woods (10 minutes' drive) and the Leeds Liverpool Canal make great local walking, cycling and mountain-biking destinations. For towns and shopping, Otley, Ilkley and Skipton are all nearby: Otley (20 minutes) is a Walkers Are Welcome town and has a number of walking trails that start and end in the town; Ilkley (20 minutes) has a toy museum and walks onto Ilkley Moor to see the Cow and Calf rock formation, and Skipton (35 minutes) is where you'll find the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway and barge trips on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. Four miles away is the famed village of Saltaire (10 minutes), a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can visit Salts Mill with several galleries and exhibitions including works by the artist David Hockney, who grew up in Bradford. There's an 11-day festival in the town every September and the Saltaire Arts Trail arts festival runs every May. The nightlife, shopping, restaurants and museums of Bradford and Leeds are a 20-minute drive and a 40-minute drive respectively. Direct train connections to Leeds, Bradford, Ilkley and Skipton can be accessed in Guiseley (10 minutes), Baildon (five minutes) and Shipley (five minutes).
