Hessle to Hull Paragon Interchange
A station-to-station walkYorkshireNorth of England
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.
Coastal: almost all along the coast.
Warnings: 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.
