Hessle Station to Barton-on-Humber Station

the views were nice and refreshing to be so high up; The views from the footpath were breathtaking; cracking views from the bridge deck. A short, memorable walk crossing the Humber Bridge high above the estuary, with breathtaking views and then through an industrial area into Barton-upon-Humber.
