Parking on Alexandra Crescent, LS29
My husband and I came to Ilkley for my Father's interment of ashes. The hotel we stayed in had no parking facilities. It was brilliant to be able to park our car in a space without any stress or give us any problems. Dad's day went well, and thank-you for allowing us to park our car in your space stress free. The space was only 5 minutes away from the hotel and local shops so very useful.

Parking on Alexandra Crescent, LS29
Great little parking spot, close to central Ilkley. Ideal for an overnight stay as it felt safer than parking in the public car park.

Parking on Alexandra Crescent, LS29
Easy to find and get to despite the road closures. Fitted my Mitsubishi ASX in. Anything bigger the space would be too small.

Parking on Alexandra Crescent, LS29
This space is definitely only for 'medium' or smaller cars due to the railings, and leaving access to the stairs. My Nissan Leaf was slightly overhanging into the footpath, but not causing a blockage and I would park here again.. Very handy for Ilkley town centre (5 min walk) or a walk along the river ( there is a cut through at the bottom of Alexandra Crescent before the road bears left). I paid £2 for 4 hours which was half the price of the town centre car park (and saved having to download another parking app and the associated hassle). Other street parking was available for £2 but restricted to 2 hours. The hedge could do with a trim to make getting in and out of the drivers door easier ;-)
