Description
A route from Bridlington to Hornsea.
I walked this route so it can be walked, however, I think it can be improved.
It is a beautiful walk through farmland and cliff top paths.
Some farmers have left paths through crops making it easy to walk. Others have ploughed over them and the path is at best indistinct and at worst invisible. I used GPS to navigate and stick to the right of way.
The road to/from Fraisthorpe and the beach was packed with traffic (it was a sunny Sunday) and there is no verge. I cut across using a farm track and a path between fields, which is well used as evidenced by footprints and hedge gaps, but I'm uncertain if it is a public footpath, it was at least safe.
That said; the majority of this route is a good walk through open countryside

27 Jun 2024I walked from Hornsea to Bridlington.
A long straight roadside walk takes you out of Hornsea, which becomes increasingly rural as you go. Then a cliff-top walk set back from the edge with open skies and good views. Heading inland at Skirlington, there was a large market (Sunday) where I resisted the temptation to buy books. The walk alongside Hornsea Road was not bad as it is off-set from the road with a hedge between the path and traffic, later there is a wide verge. Cutting through a farm yard there are fields with well fastened gates (latch and open link chain) due to cows. Then fields of grasses with no easily discernible path, I used GPS to keep on track. The a ploughed field with potato seedlings where footprints showed the way. After Skipsea there is a road with a wide verge before more fields. But this farmer (and subsequent ones) had made sure the paths were wide, mown, and obvious even through tall crops. Ulrome and Branstom Villages break up the field walking. From Fraisford I tried taking the road back toward the beach and the cliff-top path, but the traffic on this sunny Sunday was too much so I followed footprints down a long farm track then between fields to the path on the cliff. From here there are more people as you approach Bridlington seafront with ice cream, toilets and cafes. There is then a short walk to the Station.
This was a lovely walk through open East Riding countryside. Fresh air, big skies, and panoramic views.
I've mentioned the potential problems in the overview. Not much shelter from the wind or shade from the sun. Not for wheels due to steps, narrow bridges and no path in places.
