Ordnance Survey maps Explorer 27 (Lower Wharfedale – Washburn Valley, 2½" to 1 mile) for good detail of paths, and Landranger 104 (Leeds, Bradford – Harrogate Area, 1¼" to 1 mile) for general landmarks etc., are recommended in addition. We hope this walk will encourage you to explore the extensive network of footpaths around our village. A SUGGESTED LOCAL RAMBLE – by Colin Newton This walk starts at the A65 roundabout outside Burley House at the east end of the village (walk along Main Street from the village centre). Walk down Otley Old Road and through the first set of wooden access gates. This was the original route to Otley and was used by all traffic. It is now a public bridleway and is open to cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles requiring local access. This is now a nice saunter down a quiet country lane, and so difficult to believe that at one time – not so long ago – it was heaving with traffic. There are nice views across to the Chevin on your right. Further down, there are views on your left across meadow–land through which the Burley Bypass now runs.

    iWHARFE Improving water quality on the River Wharfe from Oughtershaw to the Ouse: a citizen science project Ilkley Clean River Group, The Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust, Addingham Environment Group, Otley 2030, Otley Angling Club, Boston Spa, Wetherby & Villages Community Green Group, the Environment Agency, Yorkshire Water and the Wild Trout Trust Background In 2018 the Ilkley Clean River Group (ICRG) was formed to draw attention to problems of untreated sewage discharge into the River Wharfe in Ilkley from the Ashlands Sewage Treatment Works. In 2019 there were 136 storm discharge events. The group’s campaign has attracted national media attention. The campaign was supported by a local citizen science study of faecal bacteria concentrations in the water and surveys of people at risk of infection playing, paddling and swimming in the river in Ilkley. The group has submitted a bid for Designated Bathing Water Status, supported by Ilkley Town Council, Bradford Metropolitan District Council, the Environment Agency and Yorkshire Water to Defra. A full account of the Ashlands campaign including data on faecal bacterial concentrations in the river can be found on the ICRG website: https://sites.google.com/view/cleanwharfeilkley/home iWHARFE objectives The iWHARFE project builds on the Ashlands project by extending it geographically to include the full length of the river from Oughtershaw in Upper Wharfedale down to Cawood at the confluence of the Lower Wharfe and the Ouse. It is a citizen science project involving members of local communities along the valley working together with the Environment Agency and with Yorkshire Water.

  • Boston Spa Heritage List
    Boston Spa Heritage List Archaeology, Ecology, Geology & History compiled by Boston Spa Archaeology and Heritage Group for Boston Spa Parish Council Boston Spa Heritage List Archaeology, Ecology, Geology and History Sites compiled by Boston Spa Archaeology & Heritage Group This is a list of Local Heritage Assets in Boston Spa compiled by Boston Spa Archaeology & Heritage Group, in association with West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service, and agreed by the Group’s Committee in July 2013. The BSA&H Group believes that these local heritage features are worthy of preservation as far as is reasonably practical and that the Neighbourhood Plan should include a policy to protect and conserve, enhance and interpret these features for the future benefit of residents. At a meeting on September 16th 2013 Boston Spa Parish Council formally agreed that the list should be adopted within the Neighbourhood Plan and periodically reviewed and updated. Inclusion on the list does not necessarily imply public access to sites or that they are accessible or safe to visit. Any recommendations included are for guidance only. The map indicates approximate locations of assets. For exact locations see listed Grid References. © BSAHG. Version dated 17/9/2013 Introduction and Background to the ‘Local Heritage List’ Scheme In 2012 West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service invited several local archaeological groups in West Yorkshire to liaise more closely with them to ‘protect our heritage’ and help them be more informed about heritage features valued by local communities in order to be in a better position to respond to planning issues. The idea is to help protect the 90% of ‘undesignated’ heritage assets and sites not already protected by being ‘scheduled’.

The Group is made up of the following people, each of whom brings specific skills and knowledge useful to the assessment process; • Cllr John Eveleigh (Chair) • Cllr Carl Morris (Council’s Finance Lead Member) • Cllr John Flinn (Lib Dem representative) • Mark Hide (Architect and former Chair of Save Otley Civic Centre) • Penny Mares (Otley Conservation Task Force & former secretary of Save Otley Civic Centre) • Bob Brook (Otley Film Society) • George Holmes - events management skills and experience • The Executive Officer of Otley Town Council 2.2 The aim of the group is to produce a feasibility report to establish whether the Civic centre has a viable future. 3.0 Progress to date 3.1 Leeds City Council remain committed to the scheme, and are still pursing potential funding sources. The scheme remains an ‘amber’ scheme within the City Council’s capital programme. 3.2 The third party organisation previously referred to (West Yorkshire Police) that were interested in leasing part of the building have now indicated that this is not now the case. However the working group have not limited themselves to that one particular group and have been talking to a number of potential users.
