Moor Side (Yeadon): what to know before moving day
Moor Side is at the edge of Yeadon Moor, the high plateau the airport now occupies; at 208 metres the airport is the highest in England. Neighbours here are airport businesses as much as houses: car hire desks, a car hire car park and the long-term car parks are next to the lanes, with the Travelodge Leeds Bradford Airport and the High Trees Garden Centre close by. Carlton Beck runs past and Banks Plantation is the nearest woodland.
Because so many buildings around here share the airport's name, a postcode alone can put a driver at a car park barrier. Give the house name and which lane it is on, and a note of any gate the van has to pass through to reach the door.
How the van gets to Moor Side (Yeadon)
Whitehouse Lane runs into Dean Lane, and Dean Lane meets Otley Old Road, which joins the A658 Harrogate Road beside the airport. The A658 is the direct road from Bradford and goes through a tunnel under the main runway, built when the runway was extended in the early 1980s. Scotland Lane also joins Whitehouse Lane and Dean Lane.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 20 to 35 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
