Olicana Park

olicana park does one thing better than most: it makes you feel like the detour was the whole point. high mill lane in addingham sits between ilkley and skipton, which means you're probably not stumbling in by accident, and that self-selection shows in the crowd it draws. people here tend to stay a while. the locals who make the drive regularly aren't doing it out of habit, they're doing it because the place holds up to the return visit, which is harder than it sounds. you don't find that kind of repeat loyalty without something genuine underneath it. when you're deciding between the morning drive and the afternoon one, go in the afternoon, when the light off the wharfe valley comes through properly.
