Hull to Beverley The route starts at
The Deep in the Old Harbour district of Hull. It crosses the
River Hull on the nearby footbridge and goes along the riverside path to the North Bridge where it re-crosses the river and joins the cycle path on Spive Street and heads north as far as Chamberlain Road. Here the path returns to the riverside and follows it all the way to Skidby Landing where it heads inland and joins the Beverley Road out of the city boundary. At
Thearne the path turns to follow the Beverley and Barmston Drain, a small waterway, as far as Figham before returning to the main road. In Beverley, the path passes the
Minster and St Mary's Church. It winds it way through the outskirts to join the Hudson Way, a disused rail trail along the former York to Beverley Line, close to the A1035. In Beverley the route crosses or follows the following Hiking Routes:
Minster Way, Haunted Way, East Riding Heritage Way and Hutton Hike.
Beverley to Market Weighton The Way diverts off the Hudson Way at
Cherry Burton, passing the Church of St Michael and All Angels. It exits the village via Etton Road towards
Etton crossing the old railway bridge over the Hudson Way before rejoining the disused railway line. The Way diverts along the Yorkshire Wolds Way into the village of
Goodmanham and follows it into
Market Weighton. In the town centre the route swings around All Saints Church before heading north towards the A614.
Market Weighton to Pocklington The Way crosses the A164 and into the village of
Londesborough, passing All Saints Church. It then passes through the hamlets of
Nunburnholme and
Kilnwick Percy before joining the Chalkland Way and heading east into Pocklington. The town is home to
Pocklington School that William Wilberforce attended from 1771 to 1776. The route heads south out of the town after the Church of All Saints.
Pocklington to York The route follows the Pocklington Canal as far as the point it crosses the B1228 at which point it joins the road through
Sutton-Upon-Derwent. The route crosses the
River Derwent just outside
Elvington, but skirts the village rather going through it as it merges with the Jorvic Way as far as
Wheldrake. The route heads north out of the village, crossing over the A64 and into the
Heslington suburb of York at the
University. The route then heads west across Walmgate Stray and the A19 (Fulford Road) to the east bank of the
River Ouse. The final leg along the river ends at Lendal Bridge where it turns towards its terminus at
York Minster. ==Images==
