Yorkshire Wolds Way Access Walk - Humber Foreshore

Description

This easy walk follows a lovely stretch of the Humber Foreshore along the Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail. It has lots of points of interest and, with no steps or stiles and a good firm surface, can be enjoyed by most people.

This enjoyable walk has plenty to see. Starting at North Ferriby Riding for the Disabled Car Park, it takes you alongside the Humber using part of the North ferriby Riverside Walkway. It travels under the Humber Bridge with fantastic views of the bridge and along a section of the Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail. 

From the car park go through the gate and follow the path to the Humber foreshore. Follow the Humber to end at the sculpture that marks the start of the Yorkshire Wolds Way.  This has names of villages along the route carved into the stonework as well as route profiles and a National Trail Acorn logo.

There are accessible toilets (with a RADAR key access) at the Black Mill Car Park just near the Humber Bridge.

 There are no steps or stiles on the route. The path has a firm surface and is mainly level. The maximum gradient is about 1:12 for 10 metres. 

There are occasional benches along the walk. 

The walk provides fabulous views of the Humber Bridge - at almost 1.5 miles long it is one of the world's longest single span suspension bridges.
