Overview

A short walk from Yeadon Tarn to Billing Hill returning on a route which skirts the Leeds Bradford Airport.

Meet at Yeadon Tarn outside the Leeds & Bradford Model Boat Club building, which is close to the Yeadon Tarn car parks and on street parking on Cemetery Road.  From here we'll walk around 3 sides of the tarn before heading through part of Yeadon itself.  Then we reach country tracks which takes us to the top of Billing Hill, giving great views of the surrounding area.  The next part of the walk sees us head back towards Yeadon, on a route skirting Leeds Bradford Airport.  This route leads us back to the starting point by the final side of the tarn.  After the walk, we'll look to go for a drink in one of the local pubs.

It can be muddy/slippy near Billing Hill so walking boots are recommended.  Sorry no dogs as we'll be passing though a field with cows in.
