Slow Ways linking Hull and Aldbrough, Beverley, Cottingham, Hedon, Hessle, Hornsea

England / East Riding of Yorkshire / Hull

Hull’s six Slow Ways are 54% checked

Drawn: 6/6

Help connect Hull

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Hull’s Slow Ways.

I found walking near the A63 particularly difficult, and if you are walking with people who may find loud noises or alot of vibrations difficult, I wouldn’t recommend it....

Walk this route

As the land between the A63 and the river widens, the path slowly peels away from the road and towards the river, finally taking a sharp right onto hardcore walkway which then huggs the river all the way into Hull. On a nice day this was a pleasant part to walk, with people fishing from the high river wall....

Scary sections walking by the A63 - feels unsafe as at times there is only a wooden barrier between you and the cars wheezing past....

Essentially a fast cycle route on main roads, taking less than 30 minutes unless held up with the level crossing just out of Cottingham Station!! If walking the route look out for the Polar Bears and Elephant ;-)...

At the end of the lane, opposite the pub, turn right onto Bricknell Avenue. Follow the track until you reach a small drain then turn left along the bank until you cross a main road. Keep moving east until you reach Chanterlands Avenue turn right and go under the railway bridge....

The wall end is the western most part of the former William Wright Dock now filled in and derelict. Cross the old dock gates by the Bullnose which has a memorial to the fishermen who left the dock never to return. The path passes to the south of Albert Dock which is operational for ship repairs and general cargo. Several flights of steps down will lead you to Albert Dock Lock gates. If you want to visit the Pubs & Eateries on the east side of the Humber Dock cross the dock by the lock gates and head north....

You are now on Bricknell Ave [ ///slowly.jelly.bind ] and wheel users have the opportunity to get here using road side footpaths if they follow Thwaite St at [ ///unique.dices.vibe ]. Wheel users have the opportunity to get here using road side footpaths if they follow Bricknell Ave, and Chanterlands Ave. Once again wheel users can continue on Chanterlands Ave and then follow Spring Bank West....

Walk this route

Achieves a traffic free route into a city centre (barring a few roads that allow safe crossing), so you should expect a few bits aren’t the most scenic or serene....

Aldusd

Walk this route

It’s a 10 mile plus route off main roads or on pavements in towns. Hard surface in places and more cinder track and subject to weather in a few areas. I’d only mark it down as it maybe lacks interesting scenery in places, but in a route this long that is alway likely....

Aldusd

Walk this route

This route is off road but the section along side the dual carriage way was unpleasant and overgrown with nettles. As you get into Hull it improves as you get away from the road. You go past several derelict dockside buildings....

The TPT is well used by cyclists but as the route is almost completely straight and fairly wide this was fine for walking. Good pub lunch at Railway Inn, New Ellerby....

Walk this route

Have only walked the section from Ellerby Gatehouse to Hornsea but this is a well used route through lovely East Yorkshire countryside and is especially well maintained at the Hornsea end. Good pubs at New Ellerby and Great Hatfield both serving food and an interesting late Georgian church just off the route at Goxhill....

If you want to avoid these steps start and end your walk at St Andrew's Quay retail park. Once you have passed St Andrews Quay retail park the path continues until the entire Humber Bridge is in view and the path takes a right turn. Hull City Centre is well supplied with shops and retail, including a large Tesco Extra directly opposite the train station in the St John's Centre. You have to walk a little bit into Hessle town centre from the train station but there are newsagents and a number of small bars and restaurants there....
