With the Easter holidays upon us in Yorkshire, many people are likely looking for the best beaches in the county. However, beaches will be busy this time of year, especially with the kids being off, so how about a visit to a 'secret' beach near Leeds.
If you fancy avoiding the big crowds you might want to take a trip to Gaddings Dam, on the outskirts of Todmorden, West Yorkshire. It takes around an hour to get to this beach from Leeds.
The beach boasts real sand and water that is often warm enough to swim in. Gaddings Dam is an earth embankment dam that was built in 1833 to provide water for the former mills below the area.
