Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington

We took our 10-year-old grandson Ally, a keen aircraft enthusiast, to the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington near York. From the impressive Halifax bomber and the history of RAF Elvington to Ally getting inside his favourite aircraft, the Dakota, we had a brilliant afternoon discovering this fascinating Yorkshire attraction.

Exploring the Calder Valley

The Calder Valley stretches west from Halifax through a dramatic landscape shaped by steep hillsides, gritstone terraces, riverside mills and wooded slopes. The River Calder, the Rochdale Canal and the railway run together through the valley, linking historic towns, independent shops, traditional pubs and some of West Yorkshire’s most recognisable walking routes.

The Worth Valley

The Worth Valley sits in the heart of West Yorkshire, running west from Keighley through a chain of hillside villages shaped by the Industrial Revolution. The landscape is a mix of steep moorland, stone-built settlements and the winding River Worth, creating a setting that feels unmistakably Yorkshire.
