WITH the coronavirus pandemic showing few signs of abating, the historic market town of Otley is turning to new technology in an effort to lure more cyber visitors. The town, which bridges cosmopolitan Leeds and the Yorkshire Dales, has recently digitised its four main walking trails via Google Earth. Now people can ‘fly’ over the town’s cobbled streets and alleys via Google Maps to visit sites such as beautiful Wharfedale Park by the River Wharfe, climb 282m (925ft) Otley Chevin and see the statue of the town’s most famous son, cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale, all from the comfort of their armchair.
