Rawdon Billing

Rawdon Billing (231m [High Point Shown on Ordnance Survey Map, grid reference SE 217 398] ), sometimes referred to as Billing Hill, is a tree-topped hill situated in Rawdon, West Yorkshire, England. It is a significant landmark in the Aireborough area.

The remains of a quarry, as well as concrete foundations for World War II defensive installations, can be found near the top. A number of local footpaths (81, 89, 90 and 91) cross the Billing or near to it ["Aireborough & District Public Footpath Map", published by the Ramblers' Association.] and it is possible to see many landmarks on a clear day, with a very good view of aircraft entering and leaving Leeds Bradford International Airport.

Though sparse there is evidence of coal on the billing, however though used previously as a quarry there is no sign of mining.
