Ilkley Manor House Bird Walk (2020)

Manor House Art Gallery & Museum, Castle Yard, West Yorkshire, LS29 9DT

  • Available anytime
  • Pre-booking not required

Come and learn about the historic Manor House set in its courtyard garden. At the back is a grass expanse with trees over the remains of Olicana, Ilkley's Roman fort. As you walk round look for images of visiting birds in the garden.

As part of Ilkley Manor House's response to Covid19 we have put together a programme called 'Inside Out' where we have been animating the courtyard space that fronts the medieval manor house. The Heritage Open Days theme of nature allows us to expand this offer to focus on visiting birds to the garden. We plan to have a beautifully created bird pebble trail for our visitors to enjoy. We also plan to offer some activities for our younger visitors to create some origami birds that will be distributed round the garden for all our visitors to enjoy.

Our heritage learning offer is a film and commentary featuring a well known local historian taking you round the outside of the manor house telling you about its history and the key architectural features that can be seen.
