Yeadon

Is anyone familiar with this area? I understand there is a cafe at the end of the runway where you can get an excellent view of the planes taking off.

Cheers me dears

This seems to be the one mentioned most.

Oh Mama - thank you so much - this is ideal for the little trip I have in mind

Again thanks so very much xx

Enjoy x

I will be taking the little ones next week - a visit to Morrisons first for some frozen peas then a lovely walk around the tarn and feeding the ducks then lunch in the cafe - hope we get a window seat x

Ric.ror. For a walk, drive up to Otley Chevin (tremendous views over the Wharfe valley on one side and take-offs from Leeds/Bradford on the other). Decent pub as well and lots of room for kids to run about.

Oh, and Harry Corbett Snr. invented Sooty near there and lived there at the top of Hollins Hill (go down it to Shipley) or along to Dick Hudson's pub (pretty old establishment), past Harvey Smith's place.

I’ve given you BA jourdain for your helpful reply but I don’t drive so Yeadon is a decent enough bus ride for me with the little ones
However when I’m on my own I might have a trip to Otley - I remember the nice market - then a walk up to the Chevin will certainly clear the lungs
Cheers me dears

The pub you are refering to is THE ROYALTY at the top - my sister in law told me about it.
As for the inflight cafe - I cannot praise it enough the staff were so very helpful and the little ones loved it - I would heartily recommend the Apple and Cinnamon scone too

[Mamyalynne]

Glad you enjoyed yourselves Ric.

Sat on the seat by the roundabout at the tarn end of the runway a number of times when visiting and staying at both the Travel Lodge and Premier inn to pass an hour away. Good view from there too.

Shedman - I can’t seem to find the roundabout on google maps - do you have a link please?

[theshedman]

Sorry it's the roundabout after the tunnel on Victoria Avenue which goes under the runway. Not quite the end of the runway but had decent views.
