Cononley Ings is an area of water-meadow to the west of the main Keighley-Skipton road beyond the Kildwick round-a-bout. It is enclosed by the River Aire and the Leeds to Skipton railway line. Access is via paths from the Skipton to Cononley road. The ground becomes flooded following heavy rain and from November to March it is home to flocks of wintering ducks, geese and waders. A good range of species have been recorded here and a visit is recommended, a telescope is an advantage.Visitors should be aware of the need to cross a busy railway line if the approach is from the hillside on the Cononley road.
