ILKLEY, West Riding

Heber's Ghyll Chalybeate Spring          SE 098 469

 The chalybeate spring was discovered in 1883 and was said   to have been a healing spring. The area was romanticised   during the 19th century and the name Heber's Ghyll takes   its name from Bishop Reginald Heber, the hymn writer, who   had no connection with Ilkley. Gill became Ghyll   probably to attract more visitors to the spas.
