White Wells Moorland Heritage Walk
'There has been bathing at White Wells since 1703 when there was a bath to the rear of the premises. This was replaced in 1791 by two baths, one of which is on display today. Although the water has no significant mineral content it is the coldness of the water which stimulates the circulation.
'White Wells was instrumental in establishing Ilkley as a spa town. A number of large hydros were built in the Ilkley area during the 19th century where people could come to "take the waters", believing all manner of aliments could be cured. Charles Darwin visited Ilkley in 1859 and is believed to have "taken the waters" at White Wells.
'Modern day visitors can still use the plunge bath ...' [Description from Visit Bradford]
