Yeadon is a compact town and suburb in the metropolitan borough of Leeds, England, sitting on a ridge to the north‑west of the city centre. It overlooks moorland and the Aire Valley, and is well known for Leeds Bradford Airport and the scenic Yeadon Tarn, a reservoir popular with walkers and wildlife watchers.
Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Yeadon grew around quarrying and small‑scale industry and later became linked with early aviation; today it feels like a busy commuter suburb with a mix of stone terraces, independent shops, active community groups and the airport as a major local employer and occasional focus of debate about noise and development.
