Selby Station to Snaith Station
great views. Very flat and easy walking: a canal towpath, a good-surfaced path across a former airfield, then open countryside, lanes and tracks and a flood bank and a bridge over the River Aire. 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.
15km.
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.
