WALKING

Walkers are Welcome

Burley in Wharfedale Walkers are Welcome was established by local walking enthusiasts in 2013 and was accredited by the national organization in 2014. The group has been working since to improve access to footpaths in and around the village through upgrading surfaces, replacing stiles with kissing gates, constructing bridges and steps, and opening up neglected rights of way.
Monthly walks take place on the 1st Friday (3 miles) and 3rd Sunday (5 miles) of each month and include using local refreshment opportunities. No need to book – just turn up at Burley Station at 10 am. Regular longer walks are also being planned. A full programme of walks is provided during the week-long Burley Summer Festival in August. Three leaflets of circular walks from the Roundhouse have been published along with a route guide to the long distance Welcome Way. These are available from outlets in Burley and bookshops in Ilkley and Otley. Details of working parties and walk itineraries are sent out monthly. Get in touch to be added to our Friends of Walkers are Welcome email list.
