Overview

We will walk from the car park across to Otley Chevin, through the woods and over to Surprise View. From here, we will walk down the steep, stepped Chevin side into Otley where we can stop for refreshments, after which we will walk out of town, crossing fields and along the disused railway track. After leaving the track, we cross a number of fields eventually arriving at a road. Here we walk back up the road a little way before turning onto a track which we'll follow until we reach Pool Bank,which we cross and follow the track opposite back to Bramhope.
