Highlight • Viewpoint

Great stop to catch your breath before the awesome descent to Ilkley

Tip by

11.4 km

Tittybottle park, formerly Manor Parade Gardens, is the smallest park in Otley. A slim stretch of greenery alongside the river Wharfe, with plenty seating to watch the ducks and boats go by, ideally with some fish and chips.

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.
