Walks you can reach from Seamer by train

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.

23km.

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.

Lunch: A tea shop near Bempton village and a pub at a coastal housing development en route.

Beverley Station to Cottingham Station (Yorkshire)

1h direct from Seamer.

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.
