Otley is a hive of adventurous activity, welcoming visitors seeking the great outdoors from the nearby cities of Leeds and Bradford. It is the gateway to Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while the Yorkshire Dales National Park is just a short drive away too.

Nestled on the River Wharfe, there is plenty of excellent walking in the surrounding countryside, be it on the moors, along the river or in beautiful woodland. Back in town, there are plenty of cafes, pubs, restaurants, boutiques and gear shops to keep you entertained for hours.

To the south of the town is the Chevin, a wooded gritstone escarpment full of historical and scenic interest. The 180-acre (73 ha) site is criss-crossed by excellent paths. Further afield, Ilkley Moor is a magnificent place for a moorland ramble.
