The Easter cross on the Chevin above Otley, England, UK
Otley, UK. 11th April 2017. A dog walker enjoys the view from the Chevin above the town of Otley near Leeds in West Chevin is largely covered in attractive old woodland and heathland. It is a part of the Carboniferous Millstone Grit group. A Roman road ran along the top of the Chevin, part of the road that linked Eboracum (York), Calcaria (Tadcaster) and Olicana (Ilkley), perhaps on the same route as the modern road, Yorkgate, or perhaps about 800m to the south. The highest point of the Chevin, Surprise View, reaches 282 metres (925 ft) . This point offers extensive views of Otley and Wharfedale, and has an adjacent car park. It is the site of a beacon, and a cross has been erected every Easter since 1969. Windmill Images/Alamy News
