Selby to Snaith (Yorkshire)
45 minutes from Beverley, with one change.

Just short stretches of busy and verge-only road. Follows the Trans Pennine Trail across Burn Airfield, which has benches and interpretation boards; you may see gliders taking off and landing.
Time: 4h–7h30
Warnings: A short stretch of busy road at the start, and a section of roadside walking with no pavement on a straight part of Hirst Road. Snaith has only around three trains a day.

Stunning views. A walk of two parts: a steep, exposed coastal cliff path with narrow paths through scrubby woods, field edges and open paths and then an inland section of wide farm tracks and quiet roads with wide verges. A steep staircase up onto the cliffs and very steep ground up to the trig point and Bempton; probably muddy in winter. The RSPB site at Bempton offers superb seabird watching (gannets, razorbills, puffins, fulmars); bring binoculars. Follows the King Charles III England Coast Path along the cliffs.
Coastal: three fifths along the coast.
Time: 6h–12h30
Lunch: A tea shop near Bempton village and a pub at a coastal housing development en route.
Warnings: Part of the path up to the trig point and Bempton cliffs is very steep (100%+), with steps kicked into the turf; in very wet or windy weather it may require a scramble. The route is open to the elements.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
