Otley Town Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

Otley isn't just a really characteristic town, it's also mad about cycling, not least because it is the home of Lizzie Armitstead, Olympic road race silver medallist at London 2012. Loads of cafes and a whole lot of charm.

View of Otley from Leeds Road

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A good steady climb if you're heading away from Otley, but the real fun is on the descent. It's a wide road so a good run into Otley. The view to your right is pretty good too.
