Beverley to Hull Paragon Interchange (Yorkshire)

A lengthy walk out through Beverley's suburbs to Figham Common, then a riverside path along the River Hull, before following the main Beverley Road into the centre of Hull.

Passes the only remaining World War 2 bombed-out building in the UK, a former cinema on Beverley Road undergoing restoration.
Time: 4h–8h
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a quarter of the walk.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Hessle to Cottingham (Yorkshire)
1 hour direct from Filey.
An urban route with more green space than expected and much of it following a surfaced cycle path. Generally easy going. Follows National Cycle Route 1 for much of the way; bus and rail options at both ends. Easier to follow with a GPX track as the urban setting makes navigation tricky.
Time: 2h30–5h30
Lunch: Plenty of shops along the way in this built-up area.
1 end-of-walk reward: the Old Lamp Room

Beverley to Cottingham (Yorkshire)
45 minutes direct from Filey.
An easy-to-follow rural ramble largely on well-signposted public footpaths through areas of woodland and hedgerows, with a few fields and but not much in the way of views. There are housing developments on the way out of Beverley and a sizeable substation en route. A number of obstacles en route. Plenty of bird life and spring flowers, though the HV power lines and distribution substation somewhat spoil the rural feel.
Time: 2h30–5h30
Walk details: Slow Ways.
