Route 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.
