Connect Hull with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Hull to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

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.

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....

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....

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....

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....

Just under half this route is urban - walking through Hull and it’s suburbs....

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....
