Selby to Snaith
Recommended: 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.
Time: 5h30 (4h walking, 1h30 lunch)
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.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Selby to Goole
Recommended: An enjoyable route that is remote in parts.
Time: 7h (5h30 walking, 1h30 lunch)
Warnings: Remote in parts.
