Grab your binoculars and head along to St Aidan’s Nature Park to spot some beautiful birds in the gorgeous Yorkshire countryside! Just a short journey from the centre of Leeds, St Adain’s is a stunning park with a wide range of habitats such as wetlands, meadows and woodlands. Whether you’re on foot, riding a bike or on horseback, this magnificent part of the world is worth exploring with friends or family. There are also plenty of activities and events held all year round so there is always something new and interesting to get involved in. When you’re in the park you can also see the old coal dragline which is a remnant from the area’s past as mine. It’s shown in the video below and is an exciting and unique sight which is great for all those who love diggers!
