Wharfemeadows Park and River Wharfe

Highlight • Rest Area

There is a sitting area next to Wharfemeadows Park were you can feed the ducks and even look at nearby Bridge Street in Otley. It's a great place to just relax and listen to the sound of the river running by.

Tittybottle Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Tittybottle park, formerly Manor Parade Gardens, is the smallest park in Otley. 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.

The park got became known as Titttybottle park after its popularity with mother's who would be found seated, feeding their babies.

Otley Bridge

Highlight • River

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.
