Best walks to or from Hull Paragon Interchange

Beverley Station to Hull Paragon Interchange Station

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. Lots of kissing gates and stiles and with a main-road section (with pavement) at Thearne. Passes the only remaining World War 2 bombed-out building in the UK, a former cinema on Beverley Road undergoing restoration.

15km. Gentle ascents.

Cottingham Station to Hull Paragon Interchange Station

Essentially a direct cycle route and almost all on main roads with cycle lanes and roadside footpaths. Pavements and roads are well lit; a level crossing just out of Cottingham station may cause delays. Best considered as a pushbike route; mostly main roads with cycle lanes.

6km.

Hessle Station to Hull Paragon Interchange Station

A largely off-road riverside route on a well-maintained tarmac path with views over the Humber and passing derelict dockside buildings; the path degrades to single earth-and-stone track in places. A grassy/wetland patch is densely overgrown with nettles and thorns (wear long trousers); exposed and windy by the river. Set to become part of the King Charles III England Coast Path. The overgrown section near Hessle is cut back some years to protect an insect that lives in the undergrowth. Achieves a largely traffic-free route into the city centre.

Easy: 8km, moderate ascents.

A long section runs right alongside the busy A63 / Clive Sullivan Way dual carriageway, separated only by a flimsy wooden barrier, which is loud and feels unsafe; an overgrown nettle-and-bramble section near Hessle (wear long trousers); the area around the derelict St Andrew's Docks has broken glass, torn metal and debris, and the dock crossing/bridge at the end may be closed, forcing an inland diversion.
