As Otley is a comparably small town (population around 14,000) you can see and visit most of the main points of the town on foot. However, there are bus services that serve Otley and the surrounding towns that can be used to get to the more outlying parts. All the bus services stop at the bus station.
Otley is frequented by a great number of small cafes selling the usual sandwiches, drinks and small snacks, as well a small number of nice restaurants and fast food outlets.
Otley is one of many towns that claim the record for the most pubs per person for any place in the UK. At one time, the town had 32 pubs, but that fell to around 20 in 2015 (or one for every 680 residents). The most popular are the Rose and Crown and The Junction. Otley's high number of pubs makes it appealing to many for a night out.
