October 5, 2025, Trans Pennine Trail: Old Hull to Hornsea Railway Line

This is the site of Skirlaugh Rail Station, which closed to passengers on May 6, 1957, but remained in use for goods traffic until November 11, 1963. The platforms are visible alongside the rail trail.

The old railway station building was derelict until 1987 - now a private residence and looks spectacular. Few information boards in the open area in front of the building.

October 5, 2025, Hornsea Rail Trail

The Hull to Hornsea railway line, developed by local timber merchant Joseph Armytage Wade, opened in 1864. It was built to serve the Holderness Plain and boost Hornsea's growth as a seaside resort. The railway lasted 100 year and was closed to passengers in 1964.

October 5, 2025, Swine Castle Hill

12th Century motte and bailey castle constructed on a raised mound of earth surrounded by a defensive ditch. Before the surrounding marshland was drained in the late medieval period, the castle would have effectively sat on an island. Pedestrian gates were installed at the site in 2023 due to damage caused by off road motorbikes. Unfortunately, they aren't working, there were plenty of tyre tracks in the mud all over the hill in October 2025.

Easy access, enough space for at least a dozen cars.

Before the Holderness Drain was constructed in the late 18th century, the landscape was a vast, watery marsh. The drain replaced a more natural watercourse that functioned as a key transport route through the area and was ultimately created to reclaim this land for agriculture by managing flood risk.

I have bought a state caravan, cycling weekly and carried a spared battery extremely miles on the train tracks.
