Hello and welcome back to my blog 😊.
Today myself and Angela walked the first section of The Yorkshire Wolds Way – for us it was a distance of 14 miles from Hessle to South Cave.
This long distance trail starts in Hessle by the river Humber and runs 79 miles to the coast at Filey.
The actual start does not have anything apart from a wooden signpost to denote the start. Further on there is a more fitting stone sculpture.
The Humber suspension bridge is a fine piece of civil engineering dominating the area and spanning the river.
As we walked along the bridge dropped into the distance.
The route took us along an estuary path with lovely views of the estuary. The tide was going out and we noted how fast that was happening.
We were headed towards North Ferriby. We had checked the Yorkshire Wolds Way website and it advised taking the alternative high tide route instead of walking along the foreshore which was mud bound apparently.
We passed the reed pond and headed into the suburb of North Ferriby. It was great to see the white telephone boxes which actually had phones in them!
Leaving North Ferriby we headed for the lovely village of Welton where we stopped for a break at a wolds way bench. It was a warm sunny day.
We had a walk into the village and found a church adjacent to a large duck pond. The ducks were so cute.
We left Welton and found the walk had quite abit of up in it but we were rewarded with distant views of the estuary.
We were both enjoying the walk – it was better than we had expected, and we were soon viewing South Cave our destination for today.
To celebrate the walk we went for a nice pub meal 😊.
Happy Walking! 😊🚶♂️
