A slim stretch of greenery alongside the river Wharfe, with plenty seating to watch the ducks and boats go by, ideally with some fish and chips.

Otley Bridge is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and crosses the River Wharfe at the heart of Otley's picturesque riverside area. It is a stone structure, consisting of seven spans and originates from 1228. Floods in the late 17th century forced an extensive rebuild and the bridge was further widened in 1776 and again in 1957, when a cantilevered footwalk was added.
