Yardley Chase is a fairly large forest in Northamptonshire (England), which consists of two similar shaped forests, which are each about 2 miles (3.2 km) long, and 1 mile (1.6 km) wide, in places. The forests are about 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Yardley Hastings in Northamptonshire, and about the same distance north of Olney in Buckinghamshire.

Famous quotes containing the word chase:
“Wee, sleeket, cowran, tim’rous beastie,
O, what a panic’s in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi’ bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an’ chase thee,
Wi’ murd’ring pattle!”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
