Otley and Ilkley bound

We didn't stray too far from Bradford, our last full day in England. Mike and Margaret showed us some of the places where they used to work then we drove to Otley, one of their favorite places.

Once parked, we strolled along the River Wharfe in the Wharfemeadows Park. People played lawn bowls nearby. We then made our way to the nearby shops past the birth place of famous furniture maker Chippendale.

We lunched on delicious growlers (pork pies), custard and fruit pies. Then we quenched our thirsts at a nearby pub.

Margaret masterfully manoeuvred the very narrow winding roads up and over the Ilkley Moor stopping to catch the cool country breeze at Cow and Calf Rocks.
