The stretch of the River Aire between Bradford and Leeds acts as a vital green and industrial corridor, carving its way through the historic Aire Valley. While the river technically bypasses Bradford's city centre meeting the Bradford Beck at Shipley it flows directly through the northern edge of the Bradford district before cutting through West Leeds and into the heart of Leeds city centre.
