Theres a place opposite the main terminal its a field, you can park but it is rough and i mean very rough.
Access is quite easy, if you are coming from Harrogate direction, pass under runway at the traffic lights turn left (murgatroyds chippy is on the right)the viewing field is just a few yards up on the left.
From Bradford/Leeds turn right at the same lights.
The fish and chips are good as well. Iam in no way associated with murgatroyds.
