Why Move to Otley

The market town of Otley is located in West Yorkshire, with a population of around 14,300. Sitting on the River Wharfe, it is an ancient town. There are pre-historic settlement finds alongside both sides of the picturesque River Wharfe and it is believed the valley has been settled at this site since the Bronze Age.

Early development of the town began in the 13th Century with farming and stone quarrying. During the Industrial Revolution in the early 1800’s, Otley was a busy town. Many woollen mills were built along the river and by the mid-19th Century paper mills were also introduced. To house the many workers attracted to the area for work, terraced homes were constructed, the railway arrived, and the town grew rapidly.

This delightful town has been the backdrop for the TV and film industry for many years.
As you wonder through the charming streets don’t be surprised if you recognize scenes from Emmerdale, Heartbeat and The Chase. To add to the charm of the town, Otley has its own Bellman who walks around the town calling out the town’s news and events.
