The Chevin rises steeply above Otley, a wooded gritstone ridge that’s now a country park. Climb up through the trees to Surprise View and a wide panorama opens over Wharfedale and the town below. Paths and car parks make it a straightforward visit for an afternoon; Guiseley station is a couple of km to the south-west.
