Re: [LU] Yorkshire help
I'd second Ilkley as there's decent walking, and a nice little place (mind you, so is Otley, and a little closer still to Leeds). Easy access to the city. Bit posh overall, but liveable.

In Ilkley you can walk straight onto the moor from town and make it as long or short as you like, there's a train service to Leeds, and loads of places to eat/drink. Lots of nice places around us in Knaresborough/Harrogate, but loathe to recommend hotels/bbs as never stayed in any. Mail me off list when your plans are firmer and I'll offer any help I can.

If you're limited by public transport, as Nick mentioned Skipton is a good starting point, and you can get there from Leeds by train. Walk up Wharfedale to Appletrewick, Grassington, Threshfield, on through Kilnsey and Buckden and stay in Cray perhaps? Might be too far there and back to Skipton, but there are busses from Grassington to Skipton (although not as frequent as they once were). Or you could show the lad we have culture in Yorkshire, as well as whippets and lard, and visit Coldstones Cut, walk round Grimwith Reservoir and on to Pateley Bridge. Although I'm not sure about the public transport bit of that. Again like Nick said, heaps of choice. Good luck with the planning.
