Introduction

Set on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the towns of Otley and Ilkley are at the heart of Wharfedale. With tree-lined shopping streets of Ilkley and the fine old buildings of Otley both towns bustle with activity everyday, serving the needs of two individual communities. This individualism is reflected in both the Wharfedale Observer and the Ilkley Gazette which are regarded as the best providers of local news and sport.
