I rember having nice views of Walfdale and the Moors not too far from the airport, stood on the summit of Otley Chevin 53.893650N 1.692494W (or on the OS Map SE 203 442). If you look the other way and squinted a bit you can see the civvys take off from runway 32 or land on runway 14. The place gives you perspective how the airport is pearched on top of a hill with the network of vallies in the distance.
I was talking to a few guys from London, they were amazed by the place saying you don't have to go far to be out the city and in open countryside.
