About

Otley South sits on the western edge of Leeds, bordered by the River Wharfe to the north and merging into more suburban residential streets as it stretches south. The area is primarily made up of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with local shopping parades serving the community's daily needs. Its proximity to the river and the larger town centre of Otley provides a distinct separation from the main urban sprawl of Leeds.

A notable feature is the large, open expanse of the Wharfemeadows Park, offering green space alongside the riverbank. The area functions as a residential gateway to the wider Wharfedale countryside, with direct walking routes leading out into the surrounding fields and footpaths.
