3. Old Town Hull from Kingston rated 4.5 on all trails

Experience this 4.8-km circular trail near Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 h 0 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking, running, and walking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring.

This route starts you near Frankie's Vauxhall Tavern and is also close to Snackers Cafe (just a block southwest of the starting point).

You can therefore start your walk with a coffee and get a pint after. Visit Victoria Pier and take in views of The Humber. This is a large tidal estuary formed by the confluence of the tidal rivers Ouse and Trent. You will then explore the Old Town before making your way across the marina then back to the starting point. This is a great area for a stroll with the whole family.

4. Paull Fort and St Andrew's Church Circular rated 4.5 on all trails

Explore this 3.4-km circular trail near Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 41 min to complete.

Starting at the north end of the town of Paull, this trail takes you along the waterfront to Paull Fort, then past the church of St Andrew's, before returning through town to the trailhead. If you are seeking refreshments, you will find two pubs along the waterfront which offer outdoor seating with views across the Humber. Paull Fort dates to the 16th century, being constructed by Henry VIII in preparation for a potential war with France. More recently, the fort housed a military museum run by the Friends of Paull Fort, though this unfortunately closed in 2020. There are a couple of muddy sections near the middle of the walk where waterproof footwear would be advisable. In addition, these sections run alongside farmers' fields. Please make sure to stick to the field edge so as not to damage any crops. less This text has been translated.

Please note, the path along the bridge is beside vehicles and is also used by cyclists as well as authorised vehicles so care is needed.
