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]
