The Chevin is a prominent natural feature

rising steeply above the town of Otley.

The lower wooded area gives way to rocky

outcrop and quarry face, culminating in

upland heather slopes from where you can

enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding

countryside. The name ‘Chevin’ probably

comes from the Celtic word ‘Cefn’ meaning

ridge.
