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:
“Did ye not hear it?—No; ‘twas but the wind,
Or the car rattling o’er the stony street;
On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
