Snaith to Goole
A station-to-station walkYorkshireNorth of England
A pleasant, easy-to-navigate route following the bank of the River Aire, with some muddy patches and evidence of cattle on the riverbank, then easy tarmac and pavements through villages. Generally flat; gates rather than stiles, but there are narrow and uneven field paths. Passes the villages of Rawcliffe and Airmyn with their historic buildings; West Park in Goole has a community cafe and toilets.
Waterway: three fifths along the River Aire.
Lunch: A fish and chip shop, tearoom, pub and food store in Rawcliffe, and a cafe at West Park, Goole, near the end.
Warnings: There may be cattle on the riverbank, with warning signs in places, and the first cross-field path and riverbank can be muddy after rain. Beware traffic crossing the M62 bridge into Goole. Snaith has only around three trains a day.
