Otley The Market Town
Otley is a small rural market town situated towards the lower end
of the Wharfe Valley wrapped between the Chevin and rolling foothills of
the moors; dissected by the river Wharfe, Otley is the natural gateway
to the scenic dales .
Thomas Chippendale the famous cabinet maker was born in Otley his
statue can be seen standing in Manor Square next to the Old Grammar
School he once attended. The surrounding countryside is rich in the old
rural economy of Britain dependent on small scale family run farms, in
which livestock and arable production are evenly mixed. Production is
distributed through local abattoirs and markets. The result has been a
thriving rural economy, an abundant supply of nutritious food and a self
renewing countryside. The unique appearance of our landscape results
from this old economy, with hedges and boundaries maintained to keep in
livestock, and copses and coverts set aside for hunting and shooting.
