About Otley
- Thomas Chippendale, the most celebrated furniture maker and designer in English history, was born in Otley on 5 June 1718. His "Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director" (1754) was the first comprehensive trade catalogue of furniture designs and established the Chippendale style that dominated English and American furniture-making for a generation.
- The 2014 Tour de France Grand Départ — the first time the race had started in Yorkshire — passed through Otley on Stage 1 from Leeds to Harrogate. The town decorated itself with thousands of yellow bicycles and bunting, and the event attracted an estimated 2.5 million spectators along the Yorkshire route.
- Otley Chevin, the moorland ridge above the town, offers panoramic views across Wharfedale and is one of the most popular walking and mountain biking destinations in West Yorkshire. The Chevin Forest Park covers 700 acres of woodland and moorland managed by Leeds City Council.
