About

Otley North is a residential suburb situated on the northern edge of the market town of Otley, bordering the countryside of Lower Wharfedale. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, primarily from the 20th century, including semi-detached homes and some modern developments. It offers convenient access to Otley's town centre amenities while providing a quieter setting close to open fields and walking routes along the River Wharfe.

The area is served by several local schools and has good road links via the A660, connecting to Leeds and wider Yorkshire. A notable local landmark is the large, distinctive Otley Chevin Forest Park to the south, offering extensive woodland and heathland trails with panoramic views. The general atmosphere is more suburban and family-oriented compared to the busier central conservation area of Otley itself.
