Otley



The location of Otley is shown by the blue pin. It's a small, market town in West Yorkshire, UK, overlooked by a big hill called the Chevin. Otley is on the River Wharfe, roughly equidistant between the cities of Bradford and Leeds in West Yorkshire and the town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire. Administratively, the town comes under the Leeds Metropolitan District. It's close to the North Yorkshire border and Nidderdale.

One of Otley's claims to fame is that Thomas Chippendale, furniture-maker (not a male stripper) lived and worked here. There is a statue of him in the town centre.
