Fairburn Ings - (RSPB) - "Nestled between Leeds, York and Wakefield, Fairburn Ings is an exciting site for family activities and serious wildlife watching. Over the last 60 years it has transitioned from coal face to wild place; an ex-industrial site rich in heritage and an important site for breeding and wintering wildfowl." "There is a mix of different types of paths, that are both flat and undulating, where walks can be enjoyed.  Usually width for two wheelchairs to pass except some boardwalks. Four RADAR-key operated kissing gates. A spare RADAR key can be borrowed from the Visitor Centre. Regular seating and rest points. The Discovery trail is 0.3 miles long, flat with firm gravel and boardwalk surfaces. The Riverbank trail is approximately 2 miles long, linear (4 miles total to return to the visitor centre), undulating, more than 1 in 12 gradient in places with an uneven gravel/mud surface. There are two RADAR gates, one at either end of Cut lane. The Lin Dike Link trail is approximately 2 miles long, has a steep hill at the start with a gradient over 1:12 for a distance of 200 m. The path is gravel and undulating in places. It can become wet in winter. The Arrow Lane trail is 1.2 miles long, level and with a gravel surface. The Coal Tips trail is 1.5 miles long, has two steep hills at the start with a gradient over 1;12 for a distance of 200 m approximately each. The path is gravel and uneven in places. The duck feeding platform is gently ramped with a 1:12 gradient. There are two feeding areas: one after 90 m and another after 140 m." - from the RSPB website
