Yeadon: Airedale Town Next to Leeds Bradford Airport on the Edge of the Dales
Yeadon sits on the ridge between Airedale and Wharfedale in the City of Leeds metropolitan district, about nine miles northwest of Leeds city centre. The population is around 24,000. The town is best known as the location of Leeds Bradford Airport, which occupies a plateau above the town and handles flights to destinations across Europe. The airport opened in 1931 and has been a source of both employment and noise complaints since. Yeadon Tarn, a 17-acre lake on the north side of town, is a popular walking and fishing spot with views across to the Chevin ridge above Otley.
The town centre on High Street and Town Street has a mix of local shops, takeaways, and pubs. The old wool and textile buildings reflect the Airedale textile heritage. Yeadon does not have a railway station; the nearest is Guiseley, about a mile to the north, on the Wharfedale Line with services to Leeds in about 25 minutes. The A65 runs along the valley below, connecting to Leeds and the Yorkshire Dales. The A658 links south to the ring road and the M1/M62. For those considering adult companionship in the northwest Leeds area, Yeadon's proximity to the airport, the A65 corridor, and the Guiseley rail link put Leeds city centre and the wider West Yorkshire area within convenient reach.
