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.
After closing for the entire second day, The Warehouse stage at Leeds Festival has once again been forced to evacuate.
One of the most anticipated dance acts of the day has been cancelled due to health and safety concerns just moments before the set.
Sheffield DJ Silva Bumpa was due to take to The Warehouse stage today at 1:30pm, but the set was cancelled due to overcrowding.
It's not the first time this has happened at Leeds Festival 2026, as yesterday Omar+'s set was cancelled due to the same issue and the stage was subsequently closed for the rest of the day.
The Warehouse stage is completely new for this year, and supposedly is designed specifically for dance music...which is quite ironic.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Silva Bumpa said: "So so sorry Leeds Fest but due to over crowding my set was cancelled last min I was just behind the stage and got told right before such a massive shame."
Prospa, another prominent DJ who's set was cancelled at Reading on Friday afternoon, spoke up on the situation: "We are disappointed in The Warehouse stage closure at Reading Festival. We were told it wasn't possible to play whilst on the way. This was due to too many people outside the stage.
"We have seen this happen before at larger festivals in the UK. It's time to double the capacity of tents or put dance music on the main stage."
It comes after another dance stage, LS23, was closed mid-set last night due to a health and safety hazard when all the lights suddenly switched off and ravers were forced to evacuate.
If yesterday is anything to go by, we wouldn't be surprised if The Warehouse was closed for the rest of the day which means anticipated sets from Rossi and Mall Grab will also be cancelled.
‘Actually lost for words’ – huge artist speaks out as Leeds Festival set is cancelled due to overcrowding

For the second day in a row, a huge set has been cancelled due to overcrowding at Reading and Leeds Festival.
Day two of the festival and there's some pretty disappointed ravers hanging their head as one of the biggest dance music sets of the day is cancelled.
Omar+, a rising British electronic DJ and producer, was due to play on the brand-new Warehouse stage at Reading yesterday and Leeds today.
Yesterday's set was cancelled last minute due to overcrowding, and low and behold the same has happened here in Leeds.
Announcing the sad news to his story, Omar+ said "Actually lost for words. My Leeds set has been cancelled due to overcrowding."
He then went on to show a screenshot of a text message, reading: "I've never seen something like this in my entire life where two shows back to back are cancelled due to overcrowding."
