An important note for anyone considering this route: be aware of the tide times. The route is easy to follow if the tide is low, as it's a single path along the riverbank. High Tide Diversion: If the tide is high, there's a significant detour via the Yorkshire Wolds Way through Long Plantation woodlands! Ferriby Foreshore at Low Tide: This section is beautiful at low tide, but requires walking on the beach and large stones to continue the path. High Tide Route: The high tide route through the woods is poorly signposted at the end....

Eventually leads you to walking next to the Humber and connecting back up with the train station, which is a nice change of scenery....

I did spot on this walk there was a distance between places to sit, which meant that a long walk felt at times alot longer as there weren’t options for respite at different points....

After passing under the rail bridge, the footpath meets a tarmacked lane for the rest of the way to Broomfleet. After this point, the footpath is a grassy raised path walking between the rail lines and the river, with a narrow sheep field at the side....

If you are walking at high tide, you will have to make a major diversion and use the Yorkshire Wolds Way High Tide path, which is a very nice walk heading north away from the river through Long Plantation woodlands, but it adds time and distance to the route and brings you to a portion of road walking to get back to the river route at North Ferriby Riding for the Disabled stables....

There is a high tide route via the woods and back into Ferriby....

Gilberdyke to Newport then following the Market Weighton Canal path which is well signposted. Joins the Humber estuary walk which goes all the way to Hessel....

Latterly a Lockheed F35, as used on the Royal Navy’s latest aircraft carrier, was delivered to the factory by barge on the Humber for testing and assessment. Near the Humber Bridge is the Humber Country Park, the site of a chalk quarry used for stone and whiting - crushed chalk- for painting and cement manufacture in Hull....

On leaving Brough Station heading south to the River Humber, turn eastwards and follow the bank along the flood defence wall past the Humber Enterprise Park. However if you have anything larger than a solo bike or lightweight pushchair which you are able to carry along with any small passengers, you should turn northwards and follow the Transpennine Trail (TPT) to rejoin the Slow Ways route east of North Ferriby. If you are going to follow the Slow Ways Humber bank route - it is best if you have stout boots with gaiters or ‘Wellies’. As you approach the west of North Ferriby the Slow Ways route appears to turn into the river! The grassy path improves considerably and after the small pond, the TPT route rejoins the Slow Ways route. The route continues along the road by the flood defences and under the Humber Bridge....

A really nice route along the Humber Estuary, however the path near North Ferriby is dependent on the tidal conditions - even when the tide is out, is can be very muddy. The only diversion from this is quite far in land (although through very pleasant woods for a section)....
