Hi Jon,

I don't know of any (consensus on) tagging with respect to places that
are friendly to walkers but there's a campaign site, Walkers Are
Welcome (https://walkersarewelcome.org.uk), that looks like a good
resource for checking places that might have been tagged in a
meaningful way. Their accreditation seems to apply to a whole village
or town. I don't think it would be safe to use that fact to armchair
map, however, but you could scout for locations that have signage or a
window sticker while doing a ground survey in a place mentioned on
their website. I know of a café that's part of this scheme and boasts
a "10% Rambler's discount" for a full English breakfast. No idea how
to tag that though.
The only visible "Walkers are Welcome" signs that I've seen in Yorkshire
are on routes.There's a "big" Welcome Way (partially in OSM as
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/14026784 though not complete).
There's also quite a lot of other "Walkers are Welcome" signage on
shorter numbered routes, including around places such as Knaresborough
that aren't listed at
https://walkersarewelcome.org.uk/waw-towns-n-england/ yet. If anyone
wants to try and chase some of those down then by all means have a look
at the waypoints in
https://map.atownsend.org.uk/tmp/SWE_20240914_221740.GPX which I've
found so far, particularly at ones that aren't currently in a route (for
example at https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=20/54.0215780/-1.5189240
there's a "Welcome Way 3" route marker, but in the absence of others
it's difficult to add the route).
Cheers,
Andy
