Great route on the bridge, the views were nice and refreshing to be so high up.
Only one side of the bridge is accessible for the public (the opposite side to what the slow ways route states) - see photo which blocks you from going on to the other side.
Lots of art work along the bridge by schoolchildren about the bridge which was wholesome!
Then walking through industrial area into the town of Barton-upon-Humber.

The footpath at the start of the bridge was closed, so I had to use the west footpath instead. The bridge was impressive and felt very safe to walk on. The views from the footpath were breathtaking, and there was also some local art displayed on the bridge.

Bridge was accessible although one side was open. Walk way was wide. Lovely views. It felt safe to walk on and it had local school's artwork to view along the way.

Leaving Hessle the major landmark is the Humber Bridge park which is the site of a former massive chalk quarry (see picture) the Humber Bridge was planned in the 1970’s but not opened until June 1981 by Queen Elizabeth II. It was for many years the longest suspension bridge in the world. It is reputed that the south tower foundations are as deep as the tower is high. Barton has a school museum in the town which is worth a visit.

Out of Hessle to Humber Bridge, cracking views from the bridge deck. Barton has abundant coffee shops, pubs and a railway station. The River Humber viewpoint is well worth a visit but a bit out of your way unless you are doing Winbar one ;-).

A great walk if you like bridges and are not bothered by heights. There are cafes on the South bank of the Humber and a country park area on the North bank.
