Start of the Yorkshire Wolds Way

Highlight • Monument

For the majority of hikers about to begin the Yorkshire Wolds Way, this sculpture, set in the shadow of the mighty Humber Bridge, marks the start of the national trail. However, the official start is actually 0.5 miles (0.8 km) back in Hessle.

View of the Humber Bridge

Highlight • Monument

The Humber Bridge is an awe-inspiring suspension bridge across the Humber, an estuary formed by the rivers Trent and Ouse. When it was completed in 1981, it was the longest bridge of its kind in the world and was not surpassed until 1998. The bridge stretches for nearly 1.4 miles (2.2 km) and is Grade I-listed. Construction work on the bridge began in 1972 and it was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on July 17, 1981.
