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.

Cow and Calf Rocks Hill Climb

Highlight • Natural Monument

From Ilkley the climb is steady with one steep section towards to the top. Keep something back for that otherwise it’s tough.

Cow and Calf Rocks Summit

Highlight • Climb

There is a pub and a cafe, it's a great climb (or descent) but also has fantastic walking routes at the top!

View of New Dam and Reva Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

As you travel along Hillings Lane look out to the west and you will be rewarded with a glorious view of New Dam and further away Reva Reservoir. As well as Hawksworth Moor and Bingley Moor. From here you can appreciate the beauty of both Yorkshire farmland and Yorkshire Moorland.
