Ilkley Manor House

About Ilkley Manor House

With the lockdown starting to be eased across the country and survey results telling us that the public would be more confident to venture into open spaces then into buildings, the Manor House Trust feel that making the most of the outside space we manage would be a great additional asset for visitors to and residents of the town. This project we have called ‘Inside Out’ and was launched on 1 July 2020. These podcasts are part of that project and aim to give the visitors and listeners an opportunity to hear more about the history of the house, garden and Roman fort.
