Welcome Way
The Welcome Way is a 36-mile (58 km) walking route in West Yorkshire, England.[1][2] It connects Otley, Baildon, Burley in Wharfedale and Bingley, and takes its name from the Walkers are Welcome scheme of which all four towns are members. It was launched in 2015.[3] It is waymarked in both directions, and good public transport connections enable walkers to use the route for a variety of short walks.
A second edition of the guidebook to the Welcome Way was published in 2021 after several improvements had been made to the route.[4]
The Welcome Way route has formed the basis of an ultramarathon route.[5]
