Directions around Yeadon Tarn…

You really don’t need me for this…

  1. Ooooooooh I love it when I get an easy job on the directions!!! And this is really easy! Dependant on your parking spot, find the main track that loops the tarn and walk all the way round! You really can’t miss it! On the way you’ll see the park, a great spot to feed the ducks, an ice cream van (if he’s there! But we have been about a hundred times, and he’s been there whatever the weather!) The nature reserve is slightly off path, but is signposted. Be warned it can get muddy! And if you’re lucky, you’ll get to see some planes taking off from Leeds Bradford Airport!]

What’s cool for kids on this walk?

✈Aeroplanes to spot as Yeadon Tarn is right near the Leeds Bradford runway, so you can see the planes taking off and landing!

🍦 Ice Cream from the ice cream van in the summer months.
