Welcome to the Yorkshire Wolds Way Accommodation and Information Guide

This guide has been prepared to give you all those extra details that you need in order to set out and enjoy this charming National Trail.

If you are planning to walk the full route from Hessle to Filey then it is better to leave the car at home and travel by Public Transport. This could not be easier as both ends are connected by a regular rail service and there is also a bus service directly between Filey and Hull.

This edition has been produced whilst there are still Covid 19 restrictions, but hopefully all accommodation will be available shortly. This is a delightful and quiet part of the country. This means that some pubs and cafés are closed at certain times of the week. Use this guide to ring ahead and check if places are open.

If you are walking stages of the Yorkshire Wolds Way over separate days you will ﬁnd details of bus or train routes to each settlement along the ‘Way’ in this guide, though there is no public transport in the central part of the trail.

About the Accommodation Guide

Thixendale
Robert Fuller Gallery

The Accommodation details cover the full range available from hotels through to pubs that allow camping in the beer garden. It is highly advisable to book ahead as accommodation can become booked up especially in May and the Summer months when the route is most popular. It is also worth considering starting the walk mid-week in order to ﬁnd accommodation or reversing the route by starting at Filey. The Yorkshire Wolds Way Partnership cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies or consequences arising out of the use of this guide, as prices are subject to change. Walkers are advised to check details for themselves when booking. Please remember to give the accommodation providers advance warning if you require evening meals, packed lunches or wish to bring pets with you. Please note that prices quoted are room rates. Many double or twin rooms can be let as singles for a lesser single room rate.

If you are arriving at Hull using P&O Ferries, you should be landing at about 8.00am. The company will then provide a bus to take foot passengers to Hull Rail Station. From Hull Station, the easiest route is to catch the regular trains to Hessle. From Hessle Station, cross the railway bridge to the South and turn left on Redcliff Road. As the road bears left the Yorkshire Wolds Way starts on the right.

Baggage Services

Long distance walking or riding is a real adventure, but it can be tricky knowing where to start with arranging accommodation and for your bags to be carried. You can plan it all yourself of course, but there are lots of companies that can help. Some offer self-guided packages, others provide a guide to lead you on the walk. Many will tailor-make a package to suit you.
Long distance walking is a real pleasure, especially if you don’t have to carry a heavy bag. Any of the companies listed here will arrange to move your bags from your overnight accommodation to the next stop. So you don’t have to worry about how much you pack!
