The beautiful Ilkley Moor has been crowned Yorkshire’s most iconic view following a public vote launched by Leeds Bradford Airport.
We’re spoilt for choice when it comes to jaw-dropping views across Yorkshire, but it seems that one in particular catches our eye.
That’s because, in celebration of Leeds Bradford Airport’s new expansion, the lovely people at LBA asked residents of Yorkshire to vote for the most iconic view in the county.
The winner? Ilkley Moor.
Ilkley Moor received an astounding 19% of the vote, taking the top spot in a landslide victory.
Coming in second place was Malham Cove, followed by Whitby and York Minster. All worthy winners if you ask us.
The full list of Yorkshire’s most iconic views as voted for by the public is as follows:
- Ilkley Moor
- Malham Cove
- Whitby
- York Minster
- Yorkshire Sculpture Park
- Knaresborough Viaduct
- Brimham Rocks
- The Piece Hall
- Robin Hood’s Bay
- Harewood
John Cunliffe, Commercial and Strategy Director at Leeds Bradford Airport commented: “We’re proud to officially launch our new terminal, which strengthens Yorkshire’s connection to the rest of the world. As we celebrate the new panoramic views of the runway, it feels only right to celebrate the stunning landscapes and iconic locations that make Yorkshire so special.
“Ilkley Moor is a truly deserving winner of ‘Yorkshire’s most iconic view’ and is a natural beauty that symbolises the region’s rugged charm.”
The new terminal expansion at Leeds Bradford Airport is now open and fully operational, offering a modern and enhanced passenger experience for those passing through LBA.
As part of the celebrations, large scale images of these iconic images and scenic views will be installed on various hoardings around the airport, as the airport moves into phase two of the REGEN development, which will see the renovation of the existing terminal.
