Picnic Spots

Make the most of the stunning countryside in the Bradford district by packing sandwiches and a flask of tea and going out for a traditional picnic. Take your pick from a variety of amazing picnic spots for a relaxing lunch or a day-long adventure in one of the district's beautiful parks. Lay a blanket down by the riverbank in Roberts Park in Saltaire or on the grassy hill at Peel Park in Bradford to gaze out over the city. Go to Haworth and hike up to Top Withens on Haworth Moor, or into Ilkley and wander up to the Cow and Calf Rocks with your lunch for an iconic view.

Remember to #RespectProtectEnjoy the landscape and leave no trace when picnicking so others can enjoy the trails and terrain as you found it. #BeMoorAware and help us to prevent wildfires. BBQs are not allowed on the moorland in the district.
