Surprise View at 282m is probably named because most people approach from the south and "pop up" over the Chevin ridge to discover the view. And it's a good one - out over the local woods and moorland, across Otley to the north and over Nidderdale and the Yorkshire Dales. The viewpoint is close to the car park so it's often busy, but head along the ridge for a few minutes and you'll have similar views all to yourself. The running here is enjoyable but not too technical, with the best trails following the ridgeline and looping back on one of the lower paths. Cross the East Chevin Road into Chevin Forest Park to extend the run.
