Fairburn Ings RSPB reserve, Nature reserve in West Yorkshire, England.
Fairburn Ings spans 500 acres of wetlands, woodlands, and grasslands with numerous viewing platforms overlooking lakes and marshes for wildlife observation.
The area transformed from a coal mining site in the 1800s to a Royal Society for the Protection of Birds reserve in the early 1990s.
The reserve functions as an educational center where visitors learn about conservation through guided tours, workshops, and interactive exhibits about local wildlife.
The visitor center provides binocular rentals, detailed trail maps, and accessible paths connecting multiple bird watching hides throughout the reserve.
The reserve hosts over 280 bird species throughout the year, including kingfishers, lapwings, and herons nesting in the restored mining landscapes.
